Verdict

SKY JEST (2) went down by a narrow margin at the Gold Coast on debut and will have taken a bunch of benefit from that race day experience. Rider Thompson stays in the saddle and can go one better against this line-up. SUMMER SENSATION (7) hit the frame when resuming and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Shapes as a leading contender. EMBER ROYALE (9) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep very safe. EDDINGTON (1) resumes here but has tuned up for this with recent trials and may run a race while fresh. SOVEREIGN STYLE (15) next in line from the favourable draw.
