Verdict

Tough. FANCI FLEUR (8) was in the money two starts back at Gatton but was unable to repeat the effort there last time off the outside barrier. Draws a little better today and will push forward. Deserves another win and gets her chance. RUSSIAN DIVA (1) peaks off two solid runs. Raced favourite at Bowraville the latest and keeps the handy 3kg claim. Has a wide gate but she can make the finish with average luck. TE PANI (2) resumed in Open grade at Bowraville, beaten 1L over this trip. Carries a lot more weight but she has more to give and will get every chance from an inside barrier. SCARLETT THUNDER (4) comes back to a shorter sprint freshened. She has the ability to mix it with them and the 2kg claim is handy. COSMIC FORTUNE (6) was okay at Ballina from a wide gate and will be fitter. Draws even wider but she will be around the mark with average luck.
