Verdict

LOTUS LOUISE (8) worked to the front from this barrier at the latest appearance and went on to score by 2 metres, taking his record at this circuit and distance to six from nine. Up in grade but could take that step. LEAF STRIDE (10) did a good job to come from a similar barrier for fourth in stronger company at his most recent outing. Well placed and with even luck may prove tough to beat. EZRA KAI (6) is a newcomer to the Luke McCarthy yard from Victoria. Proven third-up so should be peaking. Can measure up. WATTS UP THE HILL (7) won twice in a row before breaking at his last two outings. Has won a trial since. Chance with manners.
