Verdict

Open race to close out the card. DIVAKARA (2) loves it here on his home circuit only missing a quinella spot once in nine spins. Ready to peak now third run back from a break and gets 7lbs off with the claiming apprentice. Will prove very hard to toss. HEROIC REBEL (9) has been right there in all four runs this campaign and looks to be building up to another win. Best form puts him right in this contest. ERIN JO (13) brings NSW form to this race and must be respected out of the Lees yard. In the mix. CRATHIE KIRK (17) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble and shouldn't be discounted lightly. ADDITION (11) best of the rest.
