Verdict

SNEAKY PHILTRA (4) made it three wins from her last four starts when she up plenty of ground to get the prize at her latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. STARVIN MARVIN (1) finished third last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1 5/16m. Expect him to be prominent. THE AFRICAN QUEEN (2) has a good gate, and is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1 5/16m at this track a week ago. WHITEHAVEN BEACH (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1 5/16m. Each way value.
