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. Last-start placegetter DOWNEY (4) hasn't missed the top three in three tries at this distance and draws for a soft run.
