Verdict

CRUNCHIE DALE (1) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 2.5 metres away in third over 1 ?m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and she can continue the strong start to the campaign. BETTER CLASS (3) resumes here after closing his last prep with a ninth at this track on June 1. Expect him to be prominent. HEAT WAVE (7) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1 ?m at this track a week-and-a-half ago.
