Verdict

HAYLEY'S ROCKET (2) was good on debut and then went close at Kempsey as favourite. Keeps a leading hoop and will be fitter again. She can break through. VOLARE (7) is third up and returns after 7 days. Her early form would have her right in the finish, and a senior jockey goes on. No surprise to see her improve in a winnable race. LYKOS (3) was narrowly beaten on debut and resumes with Looker booked. She will be naturally improved and is likely to race well. ONE FOR HESKO (5) debuts with a small claim and has trialled at Taree. Will be better for it but no surprise if she proves the best of the remainder.
