Verdict

SPLASH OF WHITE (8) showed sharp improvement second-up when leading for much of the race before being nabbed late. Strips fitter now, keeps Crowther aboard, and this looks her best chance yet to finally break through. ME NAME'S BORIS (3) also improved last start, sticking on gamely for fourth at Balaklava. With further progression expected and Milnes sticking, he's worth following up. FLAMING EYES (6) closed off strongly into third over 1m at Balaklava and continues to knock on the door. Jason Holder remains aboard, and with four placings already, she's a key chance again. CHUR NIBBLE (1) resumes as a gelding and makes his stable debut for the Doudle camp after arriving from NZ. His jumpout win suggests he's ready to fire fresh and must be respected. RADIOGRAPH (5) caught the eye on debut, closing off well into midfield. With natural improvement and Pannell engaged, he's another who can feature.
