Verdict

MONSIEUR CLAUDE (15) drew wide and got a long way back on debut at Bendigo but caught the eye with a big finish as the $2.50 favourite to grab a narrow fourth. Better for that effort and while drawn wide again he can atone. SILKY SETH (5) has been good in two runs back, beaten under a length at Geelong second up in an encouraging effort. He can roll forward from a wide gate and should take catching. ANGLING ANGEL (9) resumes having last been seen running in a G3 SA Fillies Classic over 1 ?/16m. She was well backed there and can sprint well fresh. TROUBLE'N PARADISE (14) ran a good race first up at Sale, only beaten a neck into fourth. He should improve off that and is in the mix. SALARAE (11) was close up fresh and should be thereabouts again.
