Verdict

RICH MINX (3) looks ready to peak third-up after two encouraging runs this campaign. Her record at this stage of a prep is excellent, and she gets every chance from the favourable draw to take this out. SPIRIT OF BRODIE (8) is chasing a hat-trick after consecutive wins and his recent 8-week freshen up should have done him no harm. He benefits from a 4lbs claim, and from his good gate, he can continue on his winning way. CARDIOLOGIST (9) resumes with a consistent record and is normally thereabouts early in his prep. If forward enough, he can make an immediate impact. BOOM MASTER (14) goes well fresh and can play a major role.
