Verdict

SASSABA (1) had a tough draw so wasn't disgraced in a Group One last start. Came from this barrier to place two back and won here prior. With an ideal draw he looks tough to stop in a much easier contest. SWEET NELLIE JOY (9) finished fifth last start in a Group One for the fillies, beaten 11 metres by Stripes. Placed here prior and is a two-time winner at this circuit and distance. Contender. ALWAYS ADORNED (10) cops a tricky draw but is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance. UBETONRED (2) draws well and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this venue.
