Verdict

MS TASMANIA (1) is a clear top weight but it is earned. Is looking to deliver three wins on the trot and has been freshened. Has won 4/5 and can add to that record. HIGHLAND DUEL (2) was an easy Maiden winner before placing here in a CL1 win heavily bet. Has the first-time blinkers applied and carries 3kg less at this level. Newitt stays aboard and is likely to skip across and control the race. FIRST LINE (5) deserved her Maiden win here. This is harder but she has good upside and will be around the mark. DYNAMIC WARRIOR (4) won his Maiden by a space at Longford and maps for a soft run. He will keep improving as well.
