      Verdict

      The progressive ALUMINA shrugged off a penalty to beat Black Vale by seven lengths here last week. Andrew Balding's filly is worth sticking with until beaten as she bids for her sixth win on the bounce. Aspirant and Outbacker are both winners on the Polytrack with the latter the least exposed of the pair. Hala Hala is only 1lb higher on her comeback than when landing a handicap at Ffos Las in September and should figure if handling the track. There are no such concerns regarding Royal Warrior as he made a winning start over 5f here, although that was back in April last year and he hasn't raced since.
