Verdict

BLUISH HUE (2) has been knocking on the door of another victory with consecutive runner-up finishes this time in work and strikes a very winnable contest here. Strips fitter third-up, gets some weight off with the claim and maps nicely for this contest from gate four. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this. LEBANESE (8) has been right there in all four runs this preparation and gets the reliable Gollan/Lang combination. Should prove tough to hold out. KADESKY (6) will be better with that first-up effort now in the locker and gets Maloney on board to navigate from the sticky draw. Top-three candidate. TILL DUSK (7) has never missed a drum in seven career outings and is a must for the exotics players. MISHANI MOET (5) next in line with the claim from the inside alley.
