Verdict

COUPLES RETREAT (8) above average mare who will have little trouble running the 6f deep into her prep. Drops sharply in weight with Fitzgerald's claim and looks a great each way bet. MOTHER GOOSE (12) rewarded for her consistency fourth-up when a sharp on-pace winner over 6 ¼f at Canterbury. Can play a leading role in this tougher contest from the inside gate. RUBI'S SERVE (6) consistent mare who finds an easier contest today back to the 6f. Took good late ground off Hyperbolic when second over 7f at Rosehill. Blinkers go back on and kept fresh for this. ELLIPSIS (15) bumped into a sharp type on resumption when second to Caffe Florian over 5 ½f at Canterbury. Strengthened over the break and gets her chance on the limit weight. ART VOLANT (3) covered plenty of ground in the run when ninth over this track and trip first-up. Regular rider hops back on from the good gate. Stays in the mix.
