Verdict

SEDITIOUS AWARD (10) hit the line strongly to grab third, just over a length off the winner here 9 days ago. She will be having her fifth start in a short time this prep, and if she has held her condition, then she will go close to winning this. ZIGGY PLAYS GUITAR (6) has been around the mark without breaking through, her latest being a fifth over 6f at this track 9 days ago. The extra furlong will help, and she can figure in the top 3 this time. ARCADE BOY (2) was narrowly beaten into second over 7f here last time and looks ready to strike, having placed twice this in his last couple of starts. Each-way. VERHOEVEN (5) is a recent mainland import who improved from a modest effort fresh to finish runner-up over 6f at Hobart. A wide draw is no help, but he should pick up his first win at short notice. TIMELY NEEDS (9) is a promising gelding who is also worth considering.
