Verdict

RAFFIE JAY (4) is a newcomer to the Chantal Turpin yard from NZ where she placed in both starts. Hasn't raced for close to three months but was readied with a trial placing. Can kick of fin Brisbane with a win. BLACK VIPER (2) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off his juvenile season with a string of top-three finishes, highlighted by a win at this circuit and distance. Readied with a trial win so look for a strong return. Manners have let SERENA LOVE (3) down in her last two starts but she commenced her campaign with two solid efforts so is a player if she gets it right. KYOKUSHIN BEAR (1) is next best.
