Verdict

POWER OF TIME (1) followed up his determined maiden win with a sound effort in town. Strikes an easier assignment back to provincial grade and should be at peak fitness fourth-up. Big chance to atone. SASSY SOPHIE (4) returns for the Gluyas camp. Mixed her form last campaign but boasts peaks that measure right up for this. Readied with three hit-outs and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Bold showing anticipated. OUR LITTLE STAR (3) was doing her best work late at Oakbank in her first start for the new stable. Backs up quickly and expecting her to be more positive this time. Don't take lightly. ELEGANT LILLY (5) didn't give her rivals a sniff two back when leading all the way to get off the mark. Less effective last time but there's no reason she can't bounce back here. Expect her to give a sight.
