Verdict

Small field but fairly even. GEEGEES MISSILE (6) has been in the money 12 of 14 career runs and has been a beaten favourite at all three this campaign. All on turf though and returns to the synthetic where she won her only try course and distance. Stick with her. FURNEAUX (3) was solid in open class last time and hard to beat this line-up. CHEROKEE DANCER (2) is yet to miss the frame in six fresh runs. Looks well placed here and will take beating. THOROS OF MYR (1) is a speedy type who will give a sight fresh. HARTMAN (4) resumes and is a speedy type with a consistent record. Has a top record here over further but has claims if presented on song.
