Verdict

CABALETTO (6) comes through two strong form references. Was left with too much to do when resuming at Eagle Farm first-up and then progressed sharply second-up at the Sunny Coast when chasing gamely into the placings. Is yet to be tested at this trip but suspect she will handle it but will need a clever ride from the draw. MUSIC FEVER (7) resumed with a determined Beaudesert win and has the better established 6f credentials, so she is the clear danger if she carries that first-up form forward. IMPENDOR (3) is suited back from Saturday company after a wide, interrupted Randwick run and his track-distance record keeps him right in the winning mix. TOPHET (5) was in good touch last campaign and resumes off two trials. Should be making his presence felt.

Horse Stats

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
6	Closed off strongly for third in a Benchmark 70 at Sunshine Coast, beaten just over a length after travelling well behind the speed. That was a clear step forward from her Eagle Farm run, where she began slowly and raced keenly. The 6f is a small query, but she looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 6 Cabaletto Jockey: Martin Harley Trainer: Chris & Corey Munce J: Martin Harley T: Chris & Corey Munce	149	-	-	-	20%	4/1

7	Resumed in winning style at Beaudesert, scoring from Certified Copy by just over half a length after travelling well and finding enough late. She was respected near the top of betting and has a strong 6f profile with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Lightly weighted and set to run well again second-up. 2nd Pick 7 Music Fever Jockey: Bella Youngberry Trainer: Paula Barron J: Bella Youngberry T: Paula Barron	142	-	-	-	16%	11/2

3	Eased back from Saturday company after a Randwick seventh over 5f where he was bumped early and raced wide from the 3 ½f, so the beaten margin of just under three lengths has merit. He is proven at 6f and has a win and a placing from three starts at this track. Blinkers and the claim make him a serious threat. 3rd Pick 3 Impendor Jockey: Jett Newman Trainer: Matthew Dunn J: Jett Newman T: Matthew Dunn	145	-	-	-	29%	5/2
