Verdict

SO BE INSPIRED (11) wasn't fancied by the market on debut but never worried with an all the way win. Fitter for it and sure to be in this for a long way. ONCE A LADY (7) won here two back then backed it up with a narrow victory at Port Macquarie on a soft track. Hard to leave out. WANDJAD (4) failed in a Highway before a spell but won twice on wet tracks here and at Taree so could easily find form. CATCHY TUNES (1) will be thereabouts and NAZARE'S IMPACT (9) has won in the wet and can improve.
