Verdict

SHEZABETTORGIRL (5) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a third over 1 ¼m at this track. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. MATAI HARRY (11) turned in a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1 ¼m here. Not drawn the best so may need a 10/10 drive. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MELTON MOGUL (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1 ¼m at this circuit. Include from the coveted pegs draw. SPIRITUAL BLISS (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 8 metres at this venue over 1 ?/16m. Can go back-to-back.
