Verdict

ANITA MARY (10) is progressing well having scored in similar grade last time out to make it two from two at this circuit and distance. Draws on the back row this time but has upside and could keep that perfect record intact. FIRST LIGHT (11) resumes here after closing her last prep with a fifth at Central Southland in May and recorded a series of top-four finishes prior. Can pose a serious challenge with even luck from the second line. BELUGA (9) disappointed last time but was racing well prior including a win two back so is worth another chance. RAKAMICK (2) can be competitive from a favourable draw.
