Verdict

DARK LOOKS (7) finished off strongly to just miss last time out, clocking some good splits in the process. She now draws to sit closer for Riordan, meaning she carries just 115lbs. If she can sit closer and runs up to her splits last start, she can go one better. MISS VEUVE (2) finished behind Dark Looks two back before jumping favourite and winning last start over this track and trip a fortnight ago. Cooper's claim comes in handy as she'll carry the same weight as last start, and she's drawn better this time. Can continue her winning ways. ABISSI (5) dropped back in trip last start and only just missed at Kalgoorlie, finishing 1.1L off the winner after a good run here prior where she finished behind Dark Looks. Parnham rides again now and he can fire getting back out in distance. STARWALKER (3) wasn't beaten far last start and can be in the finish again. ROMMEO (4) is next best.
