Verdict

BIG KAY DOG (11) has led at her past couple, finishing 2.3L away most recently at Belmont. She remains right down in the weights today and is coming off a career best figure at her first time out in trip. Should be better for that effort and Faithfull replacing the apprentice is a big push for her chances. VEXATIOUS ROSE (7) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory, missing out in a photo finish at Bunbury last time out. She steps out to this trip for the first time and that looks a good move on what we saw last start. The form out of that race has worked out well and she looks well placed to knock over her maiden. REBELNADO (3) was off a short break last start when remaining at 1 m at Bunbury last start. He steps out to 1 ¼m for the first time second-up off that break, though Chris Parnham suggests this is a target. MACHO ARQUERO (2) is racing in top order and has to be included. SAFARI BOY (4) is not out of this if he can bring his best.
