Verdict

Open race to close out the card. NINJASK (7) came back in brilliant fashion with a strong victory at the Gold Coast first-up and winning jockey Guthmann-Chester retains the mount. Draws wide but the slew of scratchings should help out and can make it two on the trot. ESTEE EMM (15) broke the maiden status last time out, draws favourably in gate three and gets some weight relief with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes. The well-related SOME STYLE (14) (half to G1 winner Peeping) saves her best form for this distance range and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three commodity. PUFF 'N' HARRY (4) will have come on with that first-up run now in the locker and looks one for the multiples. ZOUSLAYER (19) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
