Verdict

The sparingly raced BELLERATA (6) has far more upside than her rivals. In the money at both starts this preparation, the latest offering a game second over 1000m at Scone where she attempted to lead all the way. Cherry ripe after two runs back and they will do well to run her down this time. IT'S A WRITTEN (8) is a 16-start maiden whose most recent effort over 1400m was disappointing. Turned in an eye-catcher the before over this course and distance when resuming. Big chance with a repeat of that effort. INVINCIBOO (1) came to Armidale for the first time recently and went close to a maiden win after travelling closer to the pace than usual. Nicely drawn so another big run looks on the cards. LULU A NATURAL (9) hasn't been all that far away at each run this prep. Blinkers coming off today may have an impact. THINK PI (2) hasn't fired a shot this time in work but might surprise off a seven-week let-up.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn-Sw on October 20 over 1280m, 8 len behind Pontevedra with 59kg at $71. The race before that faded in the straight second last of 9 at Muswellbrook Mdn on October 6 over 1280m, 5.5 len behind Varuni with 57kg at $21. Can sneak into the frame off the freshen up.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Inverell Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1200m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Speed Of Swallows carrying 57kg at $5. The race before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at this track Super Mdn on November 9 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Bullant carrying 52kg at $31. Racing well and is sure to be thereabouts.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign sixth of 14 at Coffs Harbour Ctry Mdn-Sw August 1 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Piedi Veloci carrying 55.5kg at $151. On debut seventh of 10 at Tamworth Mdn-Sw June 16 over 1000m, soft track; 7 len behind Rembroy carrying 55.5kg at $31. Doubt she will have much to offer first up.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Cosmic Force out of Bolocco Miss. At the most recent trial finished fifth on June 25 at Scone over 800m. Doubt he will make an impression here so prepared to risk.
