Verdict

MEMORIA (3) has returned in good order this prep. Won a BM72 first-up over this trip at Canterbury then tackled a similar race to this, again at Canterbury, last time out when she was swamped late to finish third. Doesn't need to do any more to be right in the finish again. WALLENDA (6) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign, powering home late to just miss in Saturday company at Rosehill. Goes well for Collett who keeps the mount. Big chance to go one better. MISTY LEGEND (8) charged home late to record an impressive first-up win over 5f at Warwick Farm recently. Doesn't hold the form second-up as a rule which is the knock, but in the small field he cannot be ruled out. BUNDEENA (2) finished just behind Memoria last start at Canterbury. Cherry ripe after four runs back and is not out of the contest. ZOUKERINO (9) is beautifully weighted and classy enough to test this field at his best.
