Verdict
Off The Hook won a maiden hurdle here back in January before well beaten on her handicap debut. Holy Motivation landed a double at Perth in September though has disappointed in both subsequent starts while Sweet Vinetta arrives on the back of success at Hexham and is 5lb higher today. Jessiemac landed a lower grade contest over a longer distance here last month but AURORA THUNDER won a maiden hurdle in soft ground over track and trip at the same meeting and Lucinda Russell’s mare gets a speculative vote in an open affair. Pammi has plenty to find with the selection and River Icon is preferred reverting to hurdling along with Legalized.
