Verdict

CONCHIERO (11) resumes. His form tapered off at the end of last campaign but the early runs held a lot of merit, winning a couple on the bounce before being tested in better company. First up at 7f here suits and he can look to cross early. PARADISE CITY (8) presents third up having run a good race last time behind Porter who pinched a big lead and wasn't for catching. She was the best of the closers there and should be at peak fitness now. SUPERCILIOUS (14) has hit the line well in two runs back, the latest in Listed company at Geelong. Up to 7f can suit now and she'll be hard to hold out. EVERAIN (13) resumes. He won two on the bounce to start last campaign, tested in good company thereafter. Wary here from a soft draw. LE FERRARI (1) is struggling to win but was good last time and has claims.
