Verdict

SWANFELS (5) drops back from tougher and should be hitting her straps now fourth-up. Her sixth at Eagle Farm reads better than the margin due to a messy run in transit. Yet to be tested at the mile but her splits suggest she will relish it and the good draw should see her land cosy. MISHANI WITNESS (1) is ticking along nicely and certainly doesn't lack fitness. Shoulders the peaks and gets an important 4lbs claim. Sure to be competitive. KADESKY (3) has hit the line nicely in both runs back and looks set to relish his first look at the mile. Draws to drift back and be charging off their backs. CRYPTION'S DESIRE (2) closed well first-up at Doomben and has placed at both visits at this venue. Likely improver who is drawn to take closer order. Can give this a shake.
