Verdict

FAY IRENE (9) has been racing very well this time in and made it two wins in a row when she came from this line to get home narrowly at Bathurst last week. Owns a decent record here including a 4m win two back. Strong claims. HEZA PLAYER (6) produced a good effort to place two back before coming from a similar draw to this to deliver at his latest appearance at this circuit. Could go on with it. ULTIMATE DIVA (10) has been freshened since the Breeders Challenge series where her best result was a second in a heat at Menangle. Kept up to the mark with a trial and with even luck from the second line she is up to winning this. MAMMALS RIDDLE (8) draws deep but has been racing well including a win here two back so should be respected.
