Verdict

TO DUBAI WE GO (14) brings the strongest overall form reference, with her Rosehill return better than seventh suggests after beginning awkwardly and striking interference before chipping away. She is eased from mid-week company, has prior Listed Fernhill Handicap experience and gets a 3lbs apprentice claim. This looks the right assignment for her to break through at start seven. INSPIRITU (9) is the immediate danger after being beaten a head at Orange first-up as favourite, and her two placings from two attempts at this distance read well for a Mdn of this depth. DE RAZILLY (4) was beaten just under a length at Bathurst and is third-up, though 7f is new territory. Improver. FIGHTING FOX (7) comes off a narrow second at this track at big odds and has enough recent substance to keep the main pair honest.

14	Resumed in stronger mid-week company at Rosehill and was better than seventh reads, beaten six and a half lengths by Affari after beginning awkwardly, being steadied near the 3 ½f and hampered again passing the 1 ½f. She had earlier contested the Listed Fernhill Handicap at Randwick, and this easier country Mdn suits far better. Prior Listed form and a 3lbs claim give her the strongest winning profile. 1st Pick 14 To Dubai We Go Jockey: Glenn Cahill Trainer: Neil Osborne J: Glenn Cahill T: Neil Osborne	247	-	-	-	39%	13/8

9	Was narrowly denied first-up at Orange, beaten a head by La Chaparron after leading and being run down late despite jumping awkwardly. That effort came as a well-supported favourite and she has placed in both attempts at this distance, which is a key positive. Draws to use her early speed and gets every chance. 2nd Pick 9 Inspiritu Jockey: Braith Nock Trainer: Matthew Dale J: Braith Nock T: Matthew Dale	146	-	-	-	23%	7/2

4	Hit the line of this race in good order after running second at Bathurst, beaten just under a length by Orchid Boy despite jumping awkwardly. That was a stronger effort than her Moruya fourth, where she loomed but did not finish it off. First go at 7f asks a question, but the winning case is genuine. 3rd Pick 4 De Razilly Jockey: Amy Mclucas Trainer: Nick Olive J: Amy Mclucas T: Nick Olive	151	-	-	-	8%	13/1
