Verdict

NATIONAL CODE (13) resumes. She's a progressive, lightly raced mare who won two in a row last time in and has won a trial leading in. Keeping safe. ZUNNA (9) got the job done first up at Pakenham with a smart win and should be able to go on with it. OLIVIA ROSE (14) wasn't far off Zunna last start and had been good fresh, she can run well. HUMBLE TRADER (8) tackled a stronger race behind Concord Connie at Flemington latest and this suits much better.
