Verdict

DIRTY LOOK (8) resumes having shown plenty of ability in four runs to date. Third to Gold Coast Belle on debut reads well and she was thereabouts in some good races, heavily bet each time out. She'll take plenty of holding out, especially with the main danger scatching - it looks her race. SEA POEM (6) has been about the mark in three runs this time in, off a let-up here but should be running on. BRUTALINA (5) can mix form a bit but is good enough and draws well for Melham, she can settle handier here and any improvement on last start will her right there. REGAL TYCOON (3) resumes, she took on some better races last time in and this suits nicely, will take catching from the front.
