Verdict

LORD WOOTTON (11) is the top pick after sharp improvement at his second race start, finishing third in a Hawkesbury Mdn over 1 ?m and beaten just under a length by My Cartouche. The first-time blinkers give him another point of upside and the rise in trip looks to suit. Can put it all together today. LIYAH'S GIRL (3) was beaten a neck as favourite last time at this track and trip 35 days ago and has had a Warwick Farm trial since. Maps for a kind run and she can make an impression. MILCHEL (6) was safely held behind Lord Wootton at Hawkesbury, but early interference, weight relief and a sound fourth at this venue two back keep him in the winning mix. RING OF FIRE (2) didn't have the best of luck last start when closing strongly late in the race and the form out of that has worked out nicely. Out in trip looks no issue and he can get back to winning ways. PURE MELODY (4) finished nicely behind Ring Of Fire last start and can't be left out.

11	Improved sharply at his second start when third in a Hawkesbury Mdn over 1m, beaten just under a length by My Cartouche after settling handy and fighting on well. His Newcastle debut was plain, but the market was far warmer last time and the effort matched it. Looks suited out in trip again now and he can land the knockout blow. 1st Pick 11 Lord Wootton Jockey: Tom Sherry Trainer: Annabel & Rob Archibald J: Tom Sherry T: Annabel & Rob Archibald	139	-	-	-	34%

3	Returns off a five-week let-up after another strong placing at this venue, finishing second to Star Turn Dancer and beaten a neck as favourite after jumping awkwardly. She had also flashed home for second here on soft ground two back. Been back to the trials since a narrow defeat here last start and she looks set tro go one better. 2nd Pick 3 Liyah's Girl Jockey: Grant Buckley Trainer: Matthew Smith J: Grant Buckley T: Matthew Smith	129	-	-	-	29%

6	Was last at Hawkesbury in a Mdn last start, beaten just under five lengths by My Cartouche after an early block and unwanted in the market. His previous fourth at this track over 1m was stronger, beaten just under two lengths behind Avalon Lady. Out in trip, back in grade annd McDougall going on is a recipe for success. 3rd Pick 6 Milchel Jockey: Blaike Mcdougall Trainer: Robert Quinn J: Blaike Mcdougall T: Robert Quinn	88	-	-	-	5%
