Verdict

REDBACK BOB (8) has not raced since he was successful by 2.25 metres at Central Southland Raceway over 1m nine weeks ago. Ready for his return following a recent trial win. Must overcome a very wide draw. Sure to be ready to run well. IMPERIOUS GIRL (4) produced a solid effort at her latest appearance when she scored by 3 metres over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. BECKY'S GIRL (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by half a metre at Addington over 1 ³/16m. PETITE AMOUR (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Addington over 1 ³/16m.
