Verdict

LADY DUCATI (6) won well two back before a 2.2L defeat last start at Pinjarra over the mile. Stepping up in trip again looks ideal and she turned in a strong rating over a similar trip just four starts ago. Can lob in a handy position and she looks the one to beat with further improvement in store. SUPER ROMANI (1) will find this a little easier than what he's been racing in recently. He comes back in class today and gets Pike in the saddle who has been successful when partnering previously. Can feature in the finish third-up. DEADLY AND FAST (2) was too good over 1 ³/16m at Albany last start and rates highly on the back of that effort. He drops in weight here, maps for a kind run and it wouldn't surprise to see him go back-to-back. PURE CHINO (3) is racing well this time in and is a track and trip winner previously. Include. WHY ME (11) is on the quick turnaround here and can put his best foot forward.
