Verdict

JUSTA TERRA (4) will relish a big class drop after producing a good effort for fifth in the G2 Southern Oaks last time out. Will be at peak fitness third up and finds a winnable assignment. BEAUDIENE QUICK STEP (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1m. Expect him to be prominent. RIPTIDE (7) pulled up last start over 1 7/16m at Mt Harding six-and-a-half weeks ago. This is a nice assignment and a top-three finish looks on the cards. FOREVER ARDEN (9) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.4 metres at this track over 1 ½m.
