Verdict

ANTALIAN (1) is ready to win, building on her nose defeat over 6f at Warrnambool. Doubt the inside barrier is ideal, but John Allen stays aboard and will give her every chance. CINCINCITY (3) showed good early muster and fought on narrowly beaten over 6 ¾f at Burrumbeet. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. JUST MY LOT (8) missed a whisker at Camperdown and should be around the mark. MADAM GRISELDA (5) has trialled twice since the resuming effort, winning the latest. Improver.
