Verdict

DITTERICH (6) strengthened up over the break when a gritty first-up winner over the 4 ½f at Albury. Sat on the good tempo again when going under narrowly in a strong contest at Orange. Innes Jnr keep the ride and only has to hold his form to take this out. HELLUVA TEEN (9) rewarded for her consistency second-up when getting off the mark at start five with a dominant on-pace victory. Has further upside in store and will need a good ride from the awkward draw. THE MOOCH (11) win record hardly excites but showed enough at Queanbeyan two-back when a close-up fourth. Don't dismiss. CAMERLENGO (1) model of consistency who lugged the 131lbs when a tenacious winner over the 5f at the Sapphire Coast on December 29. Up in weight today and sure to be thereabouts again. BRIEF STATEMENT (2) finished runner-up at three of her last four runs and a win looks imminent. Quince rides again with her 9lbs claim again not to be discounted.
