Verdict

KEAYANG MINNESOTA (4) finished ninth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant eighth over 1 ¹/16m at Melton at the latest appearance. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and can make amends. ALDEBARANHARLEQUIN (8) settled handy then took control and kept finding to score narrowly over 1 5/16m at Maryborough six days ago. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Has the ability to win again. HURRICANE KATIE (9) broke after meeting with some interference last start and finished a distant ninth over 1 5/16m at Kilmore when resuming. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. ACOOL INVESTMENT (10) is also in contention although the draw does make her job a bit tougher.
