Verdict

SHE SPARKLES (10) is nearly three seasons without a win but is just going so well at the moment she deserves one. Just missed two back then a close-up fifth at the provincials latest. Worth noting her sole win was here at her only try. Can break the long drought. ROB THE BANK (2) was a fresh-up winner when last resuming and looks a top chance fresh on the back of a good trial. MELISSA KATE (6) is a veteran mare who is long overdue. Has racked up three minors on end and does go well here. Always in the mix. OUTPOST (1) is back in trip and has the claim. Much better draw and is worth another chance. KUSHAN KHANIVALE (5) can improve sharply.
