Verdict

Siding with the lightly raced SAPPHIRE SIREN (6) who won smartly first up at Pakenham, trying hard as a $6 chance in the Future Stars Series Final last time out when third behind Plunger. She's up against the older horses now but they look well exposed and her upside appeals despite rising sharply in trip. LADY THINKABELL (9) is flying this time in, winning her maiden easily two back, just missing last time at Ballarat. She can improve again and gets in light. PINK CHANDON (7) was a dominant winner when last seen at Wangaratta and can go on with it here while EN FLIQUE (3) is going well and has each-way claims.
