Indefensible to take up the running at a moderate tempo. FROSTY GIRL (6) settled rearward and couldn't have been more impressive easily winning a Warwick Farm Maiden on debut. She's been kept up to the mark with a Rosehill trial and JMac stays aboard the Waller-trained filly. Steps up to a 72, but fitter she looks well up to coping. CALIFORNIA SUNRISE (3) won here this grade, and it was a tough effort jumping a $3.0 favourite. Berry rides again and will give her every chance to repeat the dose. GLORIOSO (2) rates similarly. Missed a whisker at Wyong before delivering a 68 at Gosford, both on heavy tracks. She keeps Osmond's 2kg claim and has been kept on the fresh side. A chance each-way. I AM VELVET (1) has been switched north by the sharp Stokes barn to counteract her tendency to hang the Victorian way of going. She must be showing plenty generally and has been racing in stronger metro company. The 2kg claim assists and she's worth plenty of consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with the promising Frosty Girl.
