Verdict

CANNY QUEEN (4) has the right profile to take this out after holding fourth in FM BM72 company at Warwick Farm, where she beat Mighty Myrtle and now gets meaningful weight relief. Her previous Warwick Farm run included interference, so she's trending the right way. Guymer rides and she profiles nicely for this feature. MIGHTY MYRTLE (8) is the main danger on overall consistency, with her strong record at this track and the held-up second to Feazabeel two starts back giving her a genuine winning platform despite a plain latest run. Hasn't won for a while, but continues to threaten and looks to get every chance. STORMBRINGER (10) is racing well without winning, missing by 2.8L in the Cootamundra Cup last time. Has speed to offset the draw and won't be far away. DUE CALZINI (5) can feature third-up with Boudvillain on board. CANDO ATTITUDE (7) can improve out to the mile for the first time.

4	Comes out of stronger metro mares grade after finishing fourth in a FM BM72 at Warwick Farm, beaten five and a half lengths, and she is much better suited with clear weight relief. Her previous FM BM78 run had genuine interference near the 1f, so there is more merit in the profile than the form figures suggest. Well suited back to this level on her recent form and she can get back to winning ways. 1st Pick 4 Canny Queen Jockey: Shaun Guymer Trainer: Danielle Seib J: Shaun Guymer T: Danielle Seib	109	-	-	-	12%	8/1

8	Was safely held when fifth in a FM BM72 at Warwick Farm last start, beaten just over six lengths after settling back and failing to close off. Her run prior is the stronger guide, finishing second at this track in a BM75 after being held up until the ½f and still making ground. Draws to get every chance and while she hasn't won in a while, she continues to threaten. 2nd Pick 8 Mighty Myrtle Jockey: Alysha Collett Trainer: Keith Dryden & Libby Snowden J: Alysha Collett T: Keith Dryden & Libby Snowden	129	-	-	-	31%	9/4

10	Had a genuine excuse when fourth at Cootamundra last start, held up in the straight before finishing just under three lengths from Belleistic Kids. That followed a good second in a BM66 at Nowra, where he picked up strongly to be beaten just under two lengths. Racing well and can feature despite the tricky barrier. 3rd Pick 10 Stormbringer Jockey: Tom Sherry Trainer: Matthew Dale J: Tom Sherry T: Matthew Dale	108	-	-	-	9%	11/1
