Verdict

JILLIBY RYDER (10) came from this barrier last start and didn't have the best of luck when third at Temora. Had won two of his previous three outings, one of them at this circuit and distance. Winning claims if things go his way. MEGS MONARO (9) is racing in fine form having put two wins together before working as runner-up last start at Temora. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. With even luck he is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ESTHER RISING (3) has been coming from wider or second line barriers of late. Should get every chance from this draw. BARWEN STORM (5) returns to the front row and placed the last two times he started from there.
