Verdict

An open race to end the card. SOLDANELLE (3) missed in a photo two back before flying late to be 0.7L off the winner over this course and distance last week. A firmer deck this time around should suit her better and she rates highly on her latest form. Can fly home from the back. MISSISSIPPI DAWN (14) surprised with a good win first-up over 7f with the apprentice hoop on board. Now Pike rides and she's unbeaten when second-up previously. Draw is sticky, but she's back in good order and she can go on with the job. FIFTH ESSENCE (8) comes back to the mile today after two strong efforts over further recently. He'll be on the pace from a good draw and Fiore has two wins when riding him previously. Can give them something to catch. DECORATION (11) has enough speed to roll across from out wide and can turn in a bold effort.
