Verdict

GROUP CHAT (4) returns for the Dale camp after enjoying a successful debut prep. Showed promise in her first campaign and with natural improvement she looks a great chance to make an immediate impact first-up. Boudvillain's booking adds confidence. STATE OF GRACE (7) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start at Dubbo. Has race fitness on her side and only needs to hold her form to make a serious impact. EILRAHC (11) did well last start but found one better here over the 1400. Peaking now and is one to watch for charging late in the piece. STREET SKATER (1) deservedly shed the maiden tag last time at Narromine when well supported. Confidence high now, so can keep the ball rolling. Will give himself every chance on speed. TWIN GIFT (5) also broke the maiden last start, getting the job done here by a lip. No reason he can't go on with it.
