Verdict

MISS MONEYPENNY (5) is in top form, most recently scoring a determined win over 6 ¼f at Cairns to make it two in a row. Should be poised just off the lead. Hard to fault and can make it three straight. QUELLO DORATO (1) is a former Victorian from the O'Brien yard. Rates highly this line-up and can go close first outing this area. FOREVER A DIAMOND (7) turned in a strong run last time when third at Betoota just six days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Racing well and looks a leading prospect. KIJIVU (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a nose over 7f at Louth. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again. ENGELINE (6) wasn't beaten far last start and worth including.
