Verdict

MADHI GIRL (11) resumes after a four-and-a-half-month break, having ended her last prep in top form with a hat-trick of wins. William Pike has ridden her to her last three victories, and she's won both of her tune-up trials, so she is the one to beat. JAZ SESSION (9) comes off a narrow nose win over 6f here 12 days ago over 6f, continuing a strong campaign with 2 wins and 2 placings from 5 starts. She drops 13lbs, and has to be respected again. DESERT WHISPER (6) scored by a neck here two runs back before finishing third here last start. A big weight drop is in her favour, and with Chris Parnham staying aboard, she will again take some pegging back. OXBRIDGE (3) showed sharp early speed to lead all the way for a comfortable win over 5 ½f at Albany nearly 3 weeks ago. He is a tough veteran who is just as sharp third up from a spell. Stick with him. RICHANCO (12) was beaten by a wide draw fresh up here nearly 4 weeks ago, and is not out of this from a superior gate. Each-way value.
