OVERVIEW: MAJOR DRAMA (7) has been turning in some decent runs for the new stable, and she hasn’t had the best set-ups to put her best on display. She gets no favours with the draw, but this looks to be her most winnable race, dropping in class and looking well placed with the claim of in-form junior driver Blake Pace. She will need luck in running, but her second-last run was good enough to expect improvement.

MADAM REACTOR (6) gets back to a more suitable grade, with some acceptable performances against tougher company. The map may be a bit sticky, but she looks well graded. PIRANI PERFECT (2) is a 3yo filly having her first run for the Rebecca Bartley stable, which deserves respect at its home track. She was a trial winner here recently and, from the positive draw, can race in a nice position. Her race form isn’t great, but any market push warrants attention. ROCK POSTER (4) is an honest mare who’s enjoying a solid season. She’s second up from a break and was good last time out when 3rd in the same race as the top pick. A positive draw helps her chances. It’s hard to know what to make of MIKIS PLEASURE (8) on current form, but she has won 3 from 12 starts, albeit with her best form coming a couple of years back. She’s had plenty of trials and is worth keeping safe for multiples.
