Verdict

POMAH (10) resumes. She just found one narrowly better first up at Sale last time in which then saw her well backed in a strong maiden next time out and covering ground. Shinn goes on here, she finds a winnable race and looks well placed. BJORSON (1) has been sound in two runs to date here, placing on debut at big odds before a close up fourth last start. Back in trip looks fine, he'll give a sight up on speed. BRIGHTLY DANCE (7) resumes having looked close to a win before the break, last seen placing in a handy maiden at Pakenham when well supported. Respecting, watch the market. GALACTIC GIRL (8) was poor last time but is right in this off the placing behind Here's Matilda two back. SPIRIT OF GAIA (11) is racing well and should be right there again.
