Verdict

ABSOLUTELYFABULOUS (1) got well back and charged home to be beaten a short margin when 1st-up here last month. Placed in half of her 10 starts. Take beating here. WOMAN IN CHARGE (2) beaten 2L in her first two starts a year ago when running on well from midfield. Was hard held when 4th in a recent trail. Stong chance in this. ZEPHYR (11) sat 3 wide no cover and took a while to wind up in the straight but put in some big bounds late to score an impressive win over Pristeen ina Matamata 1000m trial October 6. Solid claims here. LADY MARGAERY (4) got back on the rail and was looking to run on strongly but was blocked for a run half way down the straight and lost her chance on debut. Should have finished much closer last start. Include. I'M A BABE (13) Has had two trials, trailed after a good start and found the line well for 2nd in the latest here October 15. Consider.
