Verdict

FEAZABEEL (4) won like a good thing three back at Goulburn had has jumped favourite his past couple at Scone where he's found one better. He looks well placed here on his recent form and Loy replacing the apprentice hoop is a big tick. Can go one better this time. THINK I DO (3) missed in a photo finish at Goulburn second-up over this trip in a strong performance. Third-up now where she's a winner in the past and Quince's claim comes in handy. Has the speed to work across if they wish to and can be in this for a long way. MISS STALWART (5) dropped back to the mile last start and put in a better effort over the mile at Goulburn, finishing behind Think I Do. She's a track and trip winner in the past and looks to get every chance from the draw. GIVE ME JOY (8) has raced since the fresh effort - though she was deemed a non-runner after an issue at the barriers. Creates interest out to the mile with her racing pattern. THE EYES HAVE IT (7) won't be far away.
