Verdict

MERIDEN has enjoyed a remarkable rise through the ranks this season and is fancied to extend her winning sequence to six at the chief expense of Black Caviar Gold, who rates a big threat though now dropped into listed company after mixing it in Group 1 company on her last 2 runs. Pivotal Attack and Celestial Orbit appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
