Verdict

ENCHANTED HOUR (10) is the top pick with great upside, returning after only two starts. She debuted by winning a Mdn at Bunbury on soft ground, just beating Vexatious Rose by a neck, and finished fourth in a NMW1Y at Pinjarra Scarpside before the break. A recent trial at Lark Hill sets her up well. NATURE'S RECKONING (2) had a solid first-up run here over 5f, placing after a slow start and interference near the 1 ¾f. Her record at 6 ½f is strong, and Victoria Corver has won twice aboard. DIAMOND DANCER (1) drops from Saturday races after finishing eighth in a NMW1Y at Ascot, beaten by just over two lengths. The claim also helps with the top weight. MISS WALL STREET (13) was overlooked in the market but finished third here last time in Class 5, beaten only a length. Her track-and-distance record and quick back-up make her a genuine chance.

10	Returns from a break of five months with a light but promising profile. She won a Mdn at Bunbury on debut, beating Vexatious Rose by a neck on soft ground after finishing over the top of them, then was only fair when fifth in a NMW1Y at Pinjarra Scarpside as a well-fancied runner before the break. Lightly raced, well placed and clearly the one to beat. 1st Pick 10 Enchanted Hour Jockey: Brad Parnham Trainer: Michael Grantham J: Brad Parnham T: Michael Grantham	92	-	-	-	4%

2	Returned with a solid third at this track over 5f, beaten a length by Star Martini after beginning only fairly and meeting interference near the 1 ¾f. She steps to a trip where her record reads well, with two wins and one placing from seven starts around 6 ½f, and Victoria Corver has a proven record aboard. Up to a proven distance range and looks a serious winning hope. 2nd Pick 2 Nature's Reckoning Jockey: Victoria Corver Trainer: Ryan Hill J: Victoria Corver T: Ryan Hill	118	-	-	-	19%

1	Worked home soundly when eighth in a NMW1Y at Ascot last start, beaten just over two lengths on soft ground after striking interference near the ½f. Her Belmont run prior in a 1 Metro Win was also better than seventh reads, with a wide passage and only two and a half lengths between her and Marcos. Handles all ground and the 4lbs claim keeps her right in play. 3rd Pick 1 Diamond Dancer Jockey: Jefferson Tsang Trainer: Simon A Miller J: Jefferson Tsang T: Simon A Miller	142	-	-	-	17%
