Verdict

SCOTLYNN FORTRESS (2) has been racing well, finishing top-four in all three outings since a spell. Came from the back row when third at his latest appearance at Motukarara. Has the benefit of a better draw and should be hitting his peak now. MAJOR MISS (5) is a five-year-old mare by top sire Art Major on debut. Placed in a recent trial. Can be right there at the business end. MISS WOODVILLE (4) missed narrowly two back before a solid effort last start, both times coming from wider barriers. She is on the radar. BRITE LEDGER (3) will appreciate a better draw having come from wider or second row barriers of late.
