Verdict

FLOPPA (9) has been racing well and looks close to a win after back-to-back seconds at this circuit and distance, the latest in a higher-graded race. Missed by just a head in this company prior. Draws for a trail and can break through. EMERGING DEAL (10) was only just behind Floppa when third here last week. Yet to miss the top-three this time in including a maiden win at Bathurst two back. Major player. YARRAMAN JOLT (8) did a good job from this barrier last time out when beaten less than 2m into second at this circuit and distance. TOTALLY STUNNING (3) draws nicely and has been racing well with top-four finishes at her last three starts, all from tougher barriers.
