Verdict

ECLAIR ENCORE (2) has been plying her trade in harder NSW races and should appreciate the drop back in company here. Is one from one over this course and distance and gets some weight off with the claim. Plenty to like about her prospects. SANCTUARY STORM (10) has come back in good order with a win and two seconds from three outings. Maps ideally for this from gate two and looms as the main danger. NAILS MURPHY (1) has hit the frame in three of his past four and looks to be working up to another victory. Right in this contest. TORO STRIKE (9) handles all going and is one for the exotics players. PRINCE LEVI (5) strips fitter second-up from the break and might earn a cheque.
