Verdict

BEFORE ANYONE ELSE (7) saves her best form for this circuit with two wins and a second from just three spins and winning rider Thompson sticks in the saddle following that last-start victory here. Sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. EXCELOQUENT (13) returned in fine fashion with a dominant win over this course and distance and will have derived a stack of confidence from that outing. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. WOOSH KA BOOM (4) got the job done at the Gold Coast when resuming and will have taken great benefit from that hit-out. Can go back-to-back without surprising. SAGA'S GIRL (6) has won two of three this campaign and maps well from gate three. Include in calculations. BRUTAL GLORY (10) strips fitter second-up and may earn a cheque.
