In depth

Verdict

PURE RHYTHM missed out by only a neck here recently and any further progress will see Michael Stidham’s filly off the mark. She has much stronger form than stablemate Dark Lightning but Ever Smart looks a threat on last month’s second on an off-track here. Band Sweetheart can do better back on Turf today as she steps up in distance while the $750,000 newcomer Completed makes her racecourse debut for an in-form trainer.
