Verdict

ALIEN ANGEL (13) on top. She's a lightly raced mare who resumed with a strong maiden win at Cranbourne, coming from off pace to go away and win by 1.75 lengths. Straight to a BM66 here but should progress quickly and looks one destined for a bit better. VALEDICTORIAN (11) turns around quickly off an even first-up run at Sandown Lakeside when in the market. He should improve and can do much better. VICTORY TUNE (8) doesn't win out of turn but is going okay, largely racing in tougher company. He tackled the Silver Bowl Final at Flemington last time and this suits much better. DOUBTLAND DIVA (12) is still relatively lightly raced and going okay. This suits if she can get across from the gate early.
