Verdict

HELLCIBELL (6) best form is early in the preparation, as was evident with her sound on-pace win over 1050m at Inverell. Her second-up record is just as strong and can go on with it now. ZOE SHARK (2) comes out of a decent contest after failing to close off when ninth over 1200m at Wyong. Shae Wilkes goes back on and she drops back to her favoured trip. Top-three player. BOSS (10) two runs back have been okay and will relish the fast tempo today. Covered ground from the draw when a battling sixth over 1000m at Gosford. Buckley sticks and he gets a much better setup for this. BOMAREA (1) above average mare resuming with excellent first-up stats. Looked forward enough when second in a searching 1000m trial at Taree. Proven here and must be kept safe.

Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Tamworth H&Nw Champ on March 9 over 1400m, 1.2 len behind Intervarsity carrying 55.5kg at $15. Talented sprinting mare who should prove too strong for these.
