Verdict

LAUREL HILL (1) was racing well in Sydney then travelled to Newcastle last start and performed poorly over this trip in a BM68. Finds an easier assignment today and jumps from a far better gate so a return to form is on the cards. OCEAN ALPS (5) ran a nice race in open company over this distance at the Gold Coast two back then put in a shocker at Ipswich last time. Trialled satisfactorily since. Best form stacks up so give her another chance. LADY LUCIFER (2) travelled in front and defied all challengers at her latest appearance over 1350m at Doomben in a BM70. Loves this trip and there is further improvement to come at just the third run of the prep. WAKU WAKU (6) has been down the track in both runs since her first-up success at Wyong. Getting back to a dry track is the key to her fortunes. HELLCIBELL (7) dropped right out at Tamworth last start but might be looking for 1400m at this stage.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran second last of 9 at Doomben Bm78 on May 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Shot Of Whiskey carrying 54.5kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell favourite; won by a nose at Doomben Bm70 June 24 over 1350m on a soft track defeating Aldolfito carrying 58.5kg at $3.20. Great chance on that form.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading 12th of 14 at Tamworth Bm82 on June 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Andale Andale with 58kg at $9.50. The start before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Scone Bm82 on June 9 over 1100m, on a slow track; head behind Enterprise Legend carrying 57.5kg at $3.80. Better than that last effort and can make amends.
