Verdict

SILENT THEORY (7) found the frame for the first time after six career runs last start, finishing second over 1 ¼m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is capable of winning. MAJOR MOONSHINE (3) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third here over 1 ¼m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. FEAR THE DIVA (5) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1 ¼m at this circuit last time out. Can trouble the judge. LINCOLN DOWNS (4) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1 ¼m at this course on December 9.
