Verdict

REGAL VANGUARD (4) improved last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 5f at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form with Rawiller on board. MY BONNIE LASSIE (10) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 5f at Moe after just missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. XUXA KISS (13) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 6f at Ballarat. Leading player on best figures and a bold showing while fresh is expected. PLATINUM RUSH (11) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances.
