Verdict

BONJOUR MADAME (6) won her maiden and then stepped straight up and scored last time out at Wyong in BM64 grade. That is a sign of a good horse, and she is perfectly placed again in the same class. She carries an extra 2.5kg, and the hat-trick beckons. STRAAND BEAUTY (1) finished runner-up in his only start this year, and it was his first as a gelding. He resumes from a spell for a new trainer and should go close to taking this out, after a couple of solid tune-up trial performances. CORDINA (8) won her debut in a modest field at Kilmore and has been third in 2 subsequent runs. She will be hoping to settle in a more forward position this time, and she is another with each-way claims. IMPERIAL STATE (5) followed on from a comfortable maiden win at Gosford with a tough run for second at Kembla Grange 15 days ago. He is bred to improve with racing and can go on with the job. DUROVA (9) will be peaking third up after a couple of modest runs in tougher fields at Eagle Farm. Each-way.
