Verdict

MR NUNEZ (2) put in a fair effort last start, finishing fifth over 1300m here nearly a month ago after being in contention on the turn. He won his maiden over 1200m before that, and with a drop back to 1000m, he is worth another chance. JUELENE (3) was a dominant maiden winner last time over 1000m here, scoring by 2 lengths with Sonja Logan aboard. She sticks with him, and so do we. LITTLE DITTY (4) was unplaced at his last run before a spell on September 6, finishing fifth over 1100m here. He comes to hand quickly, and in this field, he is worth keeping in mind. VALKUR (5) hasn’t raced since a narrow win over 1100m here five-and-a-half months ago and is now with trainer Angela Forster. She usually takes a run to get ready, but is stronger now, and is not the worst for top 4 combos. OAKLAND RAIDER (1) also has claims with an easing in class here. Each way value..
