Verdict

ALOHA BLUE (2) has made an encouraging return this prep. After an eye-catching third first-up, she proved too strong here second-up when arriving just in time. Big chance to go back-to-back. PULAMBI (12) missed by the barest of margins when returning. She stuck on strongly after racing up on the speed, and with natural improvement second-up, she looks poised to run another bold race. STRAWBERRY SWING (7) doesn't win out of turn but continues to perform respectably. With the right run, she’s in the mix along with LISELLE'S LUCK (6) who will be fitter for the resuming hitout.
