Verdict

AMBER AFFAIR (3) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four at her past five outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Placed over this track and trip last time out and maps ideally for this from gate two. Rates the testing material. HIGH SOBRIETY (5) has hit the frame at the past couple and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Looms as the main danger. SHADYVALE AL (2) put in a career-best performance over this course and distance at the latest effort and should get all the favours from the inside marble. Top-three credentials in a race like this. FIGHTING EDGE (7) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. OSCAR BOOIE (1) next in line with the claim.
