Verdict

ORIA (4) made good progress when putting three wins together last campaign, two of them at this venue. Hasn't raced since December but usually goes well when fresh and could continue to work through her grades this time in. MAESTRO (8) brings good form from Victoria where he put together a series of top-four finishes before delivering at the latest appearance by close 4 metres in the Charlton Cup. Must overcome a wide draw but he has won at this circuit and distance before. TIGER TEE (1) could be close to a win after placing in three of her last four starts and draws to advantage. AFFAIRE DE COVER (7) may be suited returning to a mobile start having come from this barrier when recording a win at this venue two back.
