Verdict

SNITZSTREAM (8) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this nature. Only needs some luck navigating from the wide draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. TASMAN BAY (2) has hit the top-five in all three starts to date and strikes a very winnable contest here. Can return a winner. MAGNETIC ISLAND (1) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and gets some weight relief with the 3lbs claim. Top-three aspirations. CARPET RIDE (4) returns after a lengthy spell but looks up to the mark following a recent trial victory. Can run a race while fresh. The well-related BRAVE FACE (3) (half to G2 winner Brave Song) is on debut and any market support must be noted.
