VARUNI (13) is knocking on the door after two strong closing thirds. Finally draws a gate and looks set to peak here. Hard to hold out in a race where several of her perceived main opposition at acceptances have since been scratched. VERITY (14) is a The Autumn Sun filly who hit the line with intent in her latest trial. From the wide draw she’ll get back and launch late. Suspect it is a race in two between the above mentioned fillies. CRUDO (6) has an experience edge over the pair after a midefield sixth at Wyong. ABATED BREATH (5) was closing well late into fourth on debut at Tamworth. Ran above market expectations on that occasion and again will likely go around at double figure odds off a freshen.
