Verdict

NOBLE DECREE (2) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Is yet to miss a quinella spot in two first-up attempts and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. ARABIAN ROSE (6) loves it here around her home circuit with three wins from just four outings. Strips fitter second-up and gets a chance to show her best. BOLD COMIC (1) goes well for hoop Martyn who has two wins and a placing from just three steers. Again gets the benefit of her 4lbs claim and has genuine top-three prospects. The well-related SULTRY SIREN (3) (half to 2xG1 winner Shadow Hero) is first-up here but tuned up for this with a recent trial and is more than capable enough on her day. Don't discount lightly. BRIGHT BLONDE (5) best of the rest.
