Verdict

EBONY KARALTA (3) continued his good form when he drew wider and raced parked but stuck on for third at his latest appearance at Menangle. Came from wider barriers than this for a win and a nose second in his previous two outings at this circuit and distance so looks well placed aided by a low draw. GOT MY EYE ON YOU (1) was last seen at Group 2 level at Menangle in September, her first defeat in three starts. Readied with a solid trial and won her lone fresh attempt so looks a big chance from the ace draw. BULLETIN (4) will be race fit after recording top-four finishes in all three starts so far this campaign and draws lower than last time. BETTERTHANTHEBOYZ (2) should get her chance from the favourable draw.
