Verdict

CLAUDEL (6) overcame some early interference to work home hard and finish second last start over 6 ¼f at Canterbury. Slight question mark coming back in trip but they should hum along in front and give her every chance to finish over the top. Black Caviar's granddaughter READY FORCOCKTAILS (10) has been in the market at all three runs to date and performed well. Returned from a five-month spell last time out with a handy second over this course and distance. Fitter and ready to peak. PHARLAND (3) raced handy and refused to lie down when runner-up on debut over 6f at Gosford recently. Might be the big improver with blinkers going on today. PIERRO LAD (4) is back for a second campaign off a 172-day break. Needs more ground but while fresh he cannot be ruled out. SORENTINA (11) wasn't beaten far at Gosford last start and is worth including in exotics.
