Verdict

Lots of last start winners. BURLINGTON ARCADE (5) broke through for his maiden win over 5f here last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tricky gate but has good upside and worth following up. SHE'S A SWEET STAR (15) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win here over 6f. Low draw and another Bold showing expected. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (11) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, at Mackay over 5 ½f. Backmarker who gets home hard. MISSISSIPPI DREAM (12) registered her first win last start over 6 ½f at Mackay, getting home by 1.4 lengths. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. FARAWAY DOWNS (10) was well in the market on debut and after settling at the tail powered home to score. Can only be improved.
