Verdict

Plenty are knocking on the door which should make for a competitive heat. LADY ELYSIA has returned from her winter break in decent heart. She should be spot-on now and give a solid showing under her useful 5lb conditional. She is tactically versatile and this is her trip. Both Ivaquestion and Foresee are indicating a win is on the horizon after good efforts in similar contests and it would not surprise to see either come good. Cherry Cola, dropping in trip, was much better the last day and will contend if able to sustain that improvement.
