Verdict

SHOCAP (3) hasn't been able to threaten of late but will find this easier and should be more switched on early with the blinkers applied. Is worth another chance on the quick back-up. MALDIVICA (7) could only manage a midfield finish in town last start after getting off the mark stylishly the start prior at Gawler. Easier back to this level and she draws well. Big threat. JEWELS CAPTAIN (2) made a mess of his rivals two back at Gawler when getting off the mark. Less effective last time at headquarters but is better placed back here. MISS SGHIRRIPA (9) has been solid in her two runs back and should be hitting her straps now. Can lead if she wants. PRECIPICE (1) is a kiwi import having his first start for the Bieg stable. Trialled okay and is one to keep in mind.
