Verdict

STILLYOURSHOT (2) delivered his first Australian win when he showed plenty of fight to score at this circuit and distance on Friday, getting home by a head after racing parked. Has the benefit of a lower draw so can go on with it. SOHO CASABLANCA (4) made it three minor placings from his past four starts when he finished a head away in second last time out. Draws a couple of spots wider but a win is not out of the question. POST PAINTER (6) has yet to miss the top-three when third-up so will be hitting peak fitness and looks close to a win after two successive seconds. Chance to break through. LIEUTENANT ARDEN (10) switches from Sydney to Grant Dixon and has placed in a trial here. Can measure up.
