Verdict

Looks a wide open affair. LADY WILLPOWER (10) just ran into one better at Rockhampton when resuming and will have derived a stack of benefit from that hit-out. Drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate five and should be right there at the business end. HIT THE SWITCH (3) has hit the top-four in all four starts to date and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Looms as the main danger. HELLO CAPTAIN (2) finished runner-up at Doomben when at the races for the first time and gets the services of Maloney on from the favourable draw. Cannot be discounted lightly. KATIE AINE (8) is on debut but has shown ability at the trials and is sure to be well-educated out of the Munce yard. Keep very safe. KOOLATAH QUEEN (9) best of the rest while fresh.
