Verdict

ALWAYS ON SAFARI (2) finished in the placings two runs back and again performed impressively last time out, making up plenty of ground but finding a couple better over 1 5/16m at Charlton. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. ELCHEAPO CLAIRE (1) was responsible for a far better performance at her latest appearance when third over 1 m at Shepparton, beaten 10 metres after giving away a big start. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job. MISS JOPLIN (4) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1 m at Shepparton two weeks ago. JACQUELYN JOY (9) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth first-up over 1 m at Shepparton last time out.
