Verdict

FARFETCHED (8) comes here with a fitness edge fourth up and will find this more to her liking. Gave her all up on the speed with the 132lbs for a fighting third over 6f at Canterbury. Has the speed to get across and brings a superior set of figures to this contest. Ready to win. GAULTIER (3) Exceedance gelding resuming from a lengthy break. Closed strongly on debut when fifth over 5f at Caulfield Heath 15 months ago. J Mac has ridden him in both trials and gets his chance from the low draw with the lugging bit going on. KISS OF GOLD (9) thereabouts of late and gives the impression she's looking for this trip now. Will appreciate the 7lbs claim here after finishing a sound fifth over 5 ¾f at Illawarra Grange. Has genuine each way prospects. ADAPTATION (1) snagged back from the wide draw first-up with a respectable fourth over 6f at Canterbury. Finds an easier race and can race a touch closer today.
