Verdict

Hard to go past VOUCHERS (5). Took a while to get off the mark but has won two on end, the latest powering home to score an effortless win. Drawn for a good run and looks hard to hold out again. SUPID DATE (13) rates highly on best form but now needs to convert that to seven furlongs. Most of her racing has been over sharper journeys and only try this trip was seventh here three back but that was in open class. Deserves another try and nice draw and weight for this grade. LOOMING ONE (3) is worth another chance. Drew wide and was caught deep throughout latest with a weakening eighth here over the mile. Sharper trip and much better draw. RHEGION (1) had a let-up since transferring from NSW to the new yard and was safely held back in journey. Fitter for it though and extra trip here a plus on old form. Can improve sharply. VALUBIOUS (12) i suited coming back in journey and can run well despite the wide draw.
