Verdict

Tricky. BABY HAZEL (1) resumed and has shown enough to suggest she's a chance. Has an awkward barrier but will be naturally improved. She goes on top in a race that looks right there for the winning. SWEET CITY DANCER (10) missed a whisker at Kerang on debut and fitter will build on that effort. No surprise to see ZOUTARA (12) race well on debut. MRS SECOMBE (7) is on debut. Tipping better for this but has won a jump out and there is some talent there. Have to be wary.
