Verdict

Siding with the resuming ZOO DAZZLER (15) who was thought highly enough of by connections to debut in the Pierro Plate at Randwick, in the market there but it all came a bit soon. Off a decent spell but has trialled well and can take this out. EGYPTIAN DANCER (3) has been good in the Winter 2yo ranks of late, coming off a let-up here into the new season. Not sure that form is 'A1' so to speak but it's certainly good for a midweek maiden and the Bedggood yard are absolutely flying. HANDEE (5) resumes having run on well on debut behind the smart Simply Steffi. Since spelled, watch the betting for a push. SUPERBEC (11) is racing well in her first campaign, she draws wide here but has the pace to roll forward and take catching.
