Verdict

NAY PEE CEE (4) was a nice winner at Kempsey before a narrow defeat at the same track last month. Handles all ground and drawn well so take some beating. NO TACKLE (5) is close to a win after two runs back with a nice third here last week. One of the main chances. TALMA I LOVE HER (6) could place fresh. Typically takes a run and one to look out for second up but certainly respect her talent at this level. DECEMBER SKY (8) can be best of the rest.
