Verdict

BELCONY (6) was strong in front and did enough to hold them off and score by a lip here two weeks ago. Is sure to have taken improvement from that and can make it two on the bounce. FIRST CHORUS (1) resumes over what may be short of her preferred trip, but she's a proven winner and has jumped out sharply in readiness. Is drawn to advantage and gets an important claim. Will be right there when they quicken. HERE THE CROWD (4) could not quite live up to market expectations last start at Caulfield Heath but can get things back on track third-up. Freshened 36 days and reunites with Benny Allen. Can give this a shake. GELLHORN (3) is another returning and will be looking to replicate her first-up effort last campaign when beating Watersports by a head. That form measures up well for this, and a jump-out in readiness should have her forward enough. Do not take lightly. Sectionals suggest HEAVENLY KISS (5) has been crying out for this sort of trip. Keep an eye on her late.
