Verdict

OFFSHORE (9) has just missed in her last two starts prior to the break, finishing 0.3L off the winner as favourite down the Pinjarra straight. She looked good in her recent trial and she has the early speed to offset the sticky gate. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks poised to strike on resumption. BULLETIN BEAU (2) comes here first-up without a trial after finishing 2.9L away in his only run last campaign. His profile suggests he's got issues, but he's shown that he's capable of winning race when he's right. Can be right in the finish on his return. CHANTILLY GIRL (12) folded up when resuming in stronger company at this track a fortnight ago, finishing 3.5L away. Back to maiden grade now and she'll strip fitter for that effort. Can play a leading role. ROYAL GUARDIAN (13) was sound on debut at York when closing strongly. Not out of this from a good draw. HOPE TO ADMIRE (3) wasn't beaten far fresh at Belmont and can be in the finish once more.
