Verdict

CREPE MYRTLE (3) classy mare who continued the good form at her first run back for the Pride yard when a tough on-pace second to Lyles over 5f at Warwick Farm in BM72 grade. Regular rider hops back aboard and should finish over the top of these. GOLD CARD (1) showed a blistering turn of foot first-up when launching late for a narrow victory over 5f at Taree. Clearly come back well and will be hard to hold out with Grima's 7lbs claim. Value prospect. STILL ALICE (6) returns from a 42-day let-up and due for a change of luck. Down in the weights and maps to get every chance. BOLD DESIGN (8) bounced off his good first-up third, with a convincing victory over 5f at Muswellbrook. Has further upside and deserves his chance here from the low draw. Keep safe.
