Verdict

REDS EXPRESS (6) finds the maiden win elusive but was good last start at Albury where she kept coming to just miss. No tougher this time, just needs to hold her form to break through. THE BUNCHA (4) is a first starter by Bon Hoffa for the McVicar camp. Impressed in winning a trial at Wagga with today's rider Brittany Button aboard. Can make an immediate impact. PHENOMENORM (2) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time at Swan Hill when resuming. Fitter now and draws the A1. Gets a good chance to shed his tag. CONARGO (1) hit the frame two starts ago at Albury but ran below par last time. Will likely push forward again to give a sight. Keeping safe.
