Verdict

EXTRA FLING (2) is a son of Exceedance on debut that has impressed in his lead-up work. Pannell sticks from his most recent trial win and looks ready to hit the ground running. ILUSTRIOUS WARRIOR (13) caught the eye last start in town when working home strongly into a midfield finish after turning a long way off them. Should take closer order from the low draw this time and can give this a big a shake. MUSICAL SUNSET (7) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work off a long break and should be nearing her peak now. Expect her to be breaking through soon. BOLD STARLET (9) returns and strips fitter for to trials. Keeping safe in minors.
