Verdict

LADY RESOLUTE (5) had taken a while to get into her work but the last trial was a sign of positivity. She is bred to be very good and the blinkers have gone straight on. The betting will tell all, but you would have to imagine anything near her true ability sees her right there. MACHRIHANISH (8) just keeps finding some rivals better on the day. She ran in a tougher race last outing and was only touched off late. Gets a lovely run. ACKNOWLEDGE ME (7) has been getting closer with every effort. The barrier leaves her with a strong case. WEEKDAY FLYER (6) was well supported at Queanbeyan and failed so this is harder. Blinkers are back on. CUMULATE (2) has first run for the new yard. Runs the same every time.
