Verdict

MARKOS PORT (2) drops back from 1 ?m after just battling over that trip late last time out. He is edging closer to a maiden win, and can get the job done this time. Follow your money. ARANTU (7) caught the eye with a late finish for fourth on debut, and this late-maturing 4YO mare will relish the step up in distance. Keep her safe in all combos. AIDA (5) resumed with a strong late finish for fourth at Rosehill a month ago, and if she can settle over 7 ¾f, then she is worth including. SNITZEL'S GIRL (11) good effort last time when she finished just 2.5 lengths away in fifth over 7f at Warwick Farm. JMac always a danger.
