Verdict

STARBURST (9) resumed with an impressive maiden win at Donald as favourite, showing good speed and coming away to score by 1.75 lengths. This looks another nice race for her, look for her to cross and take catching again. TORVEGA (12) has placed in both runs back from a spell, close up in second at Moe when last seen six weeks ago. She maps for a soft run on speed and looks a strong hope. NICEREINE (6) resumes. He showed ability in two runs last time in, winning nicely on debut at Werribee. He can progress this time around and measure right up. NASRAAWY (3) is coming off a dominant win at Moe on heavy ground. Stringing a couple together isn't his forte but he's consistent and should be right there again. MIDNIGHT DEVIL (2) resumes with the peaks to challenge if wound up.
