Verdict
Verdict
THE REASON came in for some support on debut but it was in her second start that she showed decent potential. She stayed on well in third and is looking for the distance. There are two runners with much experience and both are knocking at the door. DELAWARE RIVER can go one better after finishing second best over the course and distance last time. She was beaten as favourite but now has gate No 1 and should have no excuses. WINDS OF GRACE's overdue maiden win can come at any time it seems but she did finish behind DELAWARE RIVER when they last met.
