Verdict

Competitive affair to close out the card. SIRKEL (11) returned in fine fashion saluting at Doomben before just missing the frame in a harder race there last time out. Sure to find this assignment much more to her liking and will be right there when the judge calls a halt. NIGHTSTICK (5) has placed two from three over this track and trip and will be high on confidence following that last-start Rockhampton victory. Rates among the leading contenders. Former Victorian SOUTHERN MONEY (16) will strip fitter second-up from the break and should find this easier than what she faced down south. Can feature with natural improvement. MANHATTAN'S (14) boasts a win and a placing from three attempts over this course and distance and looks a must for the exotics players. AMBASSADORS (3) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
