Verdict

BOA VISTA (5) is yet to break through in five runs but a win looks close. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 4 ½f at Albury on April 23. Suited this level and rates well. POSITIVE IMAGE (3) ran a strong second over 5 ½f at this track two runs back then was below his best last time over 6f when 12th, beaten 10 lengths. Can bounce back. APACHE SUNRISE (4) is a three-year-old filly who is still a maiden after six starts but has been in the placings two times. Should improve off an even showing fresh and has claims. PACKERS JOURNEY (10) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, after being prominent at the corner at her latest appearance over 6 ¾f at Donald. Can give cheek.
