Verdict

WATERSPORTS (9) looks well placed. She's a consistent mare who hasn't missed the placings in four runs this campaign, beating subsequent winner Porter two back at Cranbourne, close up behind another subsequent winner Midnite Storm at Flemington last time out. This sets up very well for her, tracking the main dangers, and she only needs to hold her form to be back to winning ways. SAVAMOON (5) is going well, just edged out after doing a bit of early work over this track and distance last start. Drawn wide this time but he'll roll across and take catching. SIRIUS STATEMENT (4) was better last time and has each-way claims, as does ITAZURA (10) who was just fair last time in a stronger race at Flemington but had won his maiden well prior.
