Verdict

KORATORA (5) drops back to the 4 ½f burner over a month between runs and will find this easier. Draws to land in a perfect spot up on speed under Crowther and looks a big threat. AZTEC DANCER (4) is a track and trip specialist but is yet to salute fresh. Watch for her darting through late. SIOUX WARRIOR (2) has struck a purple patch of form as he shoots for the hat-trick. Backs up quickly and deserves obvious respect. BELLENTIA (11) never struck through last campaign but looks to have come back in great order assessing her recent trial win. Gets in well at the weights and gets her chance to break a long run of outs.
