Verdict

NATIONAL CODE (2) put in a much better effort second up at Caulfield Heath having disappointed first up. She got home well there behind a very promising horse and with a good ride from the apprentice she'll be very hard to hold out. GINA'S A STAR (13) was too good for a maiden field last start over 5f at Ballarat, scoring by 4 lengths on heavy ground. Progressive mare who can go on with it now. STELLAR MOFEED (11) continues to race well without winning, placing in her past three. She should roll forward and be right there again. WICKED STORM (4) has had one run back from a break and was well held in fifth over 5f at Seymour three-and-a-half weeks ago. Fitter and can feature.
