Verdict

PORTSMOUTH (2) looks set to peak fourth-up in a much weaker contest. Nailed late by the progressive The Iron Star when second over 1 ?m at Hawkesbury. Can get a soft lead today and return to winning form. UNMATCHED (9) is improving with each run this prep and should have little trouble getting the 1 5/16m. Made up many lengths when fourth over 1 ³/16m at Canberra Acton. Among the top chances in what looks a suitable race. QUEEN TAVANE (4) placed at this trip on the provincial circuit last time in. Copped a bump at the start and got further back than anticipated with a battling ninth over 1m at Wyong. Penza sticks and will find this more to her liking. CELLITO SANDS (6) stretches out to this trip for the first time after closing late to secure third over 1m at this track. Stays in the place calculations.
