Verdict

GLADIATRIX (8) has led and fought off the challengers to win her two starts to date at this circuit and distance, last time coming from a similar draw to get home by 1.8m. Showing promise and can carry on her winning ways. CARTACALHA (3) has placed behind Gladiatrix in both outings so far, getting close to her on debut before a solid third last time. Another good draw gives her some hope of turning the tables. ADELAIDE RED (7) has also placed behind top selection in both outings. Cops her widest draw yet but is ticking along well. CEE CEE IN PARIS (2) kept her manners in check and was solid in fourth last time. Draws to be competitive again.
