Verdict

PIGGYBACK (2) has been plying her trade in harder Sydney contests and should find this assignment much more to her liking. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SO YOU ARE (4) loves this distance range with two wins and a second from three attempts and looks to be on the doorstep of another victory. Sure to prove tough to hold out. AKKADIAN EMPEROR (9) has hit the top-five at his past eight starts and is usually thereabouts. Looks well placed in this contest. CELESTIAL FURY (3) was a dominant winner last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Hard to ignore winning form. CONNECTICUT (7) rounds out the selections.
