Verdict

GLANCED (2) is progressing nicely this time in work despite a 3.8L defeat over 1 ?m here last time out. She steps out in trip again today, but draws better in this easier assignment. Ticks plenty of boxes in this event and looks to have found her race. DANDY FLIRT (11) jumped a $1.65 fave last start at Bunbury when breaking her maiden in impressive fashion. She's a 3YO on the way up and she creates plenty of interest with her last two starts being her best runs over this trip. Wide draw is the query but she may just be too progressive. MODELISTIC (4) flew home to just miss over this track and trip a fortnight ago to continue her good run of recent form. Has to contend with a wide draw once again, but she's sure to be flying late. LET SPARKS FLY (3) disappointed lasts tart but is better than she showed there. Has the speed to offset the draw and will be in this for a long way. ETERNAL ROMANCE (13) can improve getting out to this trip now with CJP on board.
