Verdict

A good race. KENDALIA (3) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to miss a nose over 6 ½f at Canberra. He couldn't have been more impressive and has an inside gate today. 23% stable striker Nick Heywood is reunited and the Matt-Dale galloper can go one better. AUTUMN BREAK (7) has his third race start and seeks the hat-trick off a 3.2L win this track/trip. He goes wet and dry and will position forward from the inside barrier. Promising and is feared. BON HOLLER (4) steps up in trip off her nose defeat here first up in stronger. Was heavily bet, and that effort stacks up. She's won a trial here since and McDougall sticks aboard. Has the blinkers on again, but the outside barrier needs managing. A player all the same. WITH STRENGTH (2) disappointed here last time but as the betting suggested, he was on an upward curve. Might be looking for the longer sprint and can't be ruled out.
