Verdict

AZZURRI QUEEN (4) has raced twice and placed at each, the latest beaten a nose at Bairnsdale. Overdue and drawn to go close. STAR ROTATION (2) was strongly fancied on debut earlier this year at Edenhope but bombed the start, was always well back, and safely held. Tipped out again and presents on the back of two Cranbourne jump-outs. Well worth another chance. HELLO MISTRESS (5) was fourth fresh then has finished runner-up last two starts. Another overdue and looks hard to beat. SOCIAL PAGES (9) was solid on debut then ran an improved race last time. Has further upside and is one of the leading chances.
