Verdict

Open race to close out the card. NINJASK (2) just missed the frame over this distance range last time out and looks to be building up to another victory. Cherry-ripe fit now fifth run back and should be right there at the business end. PIGGIETALES (15) has placed over this course and distance and gets in light with the 4lbs claim. Looms as the main danger. BETTER YET (7) has a handy record here on this circuit with two wins and two seconds from seven spins. Strips fitter now and shouldn't be discounted lightly. UCELLE (18) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top-five at her past nine starts and may trouble the judge with any luck in running. REDCLOUD (11) shed the maiden tag last time and Geran sticks. In the mix.
