Verdict

Looks a wide open contest. The well-related FOR BETTER (5) (full to G1 winner Port Lockroy) wasn't too far away in town last time out and should find this assignment much more to her liking. Is one from one around this circuit and gets the reliable Archibald/Maloney combination. Right in this contest. QUIT 'N' TAP (8) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the dominant victory over this course and distance on debut. Can bounce right back. A TOUCH FROM FAYT (12) is a two-time winner here who draws the inside marble and is ready to peak fourth run back. Ticks a few boxes. KELANOA (13) continues to race well and is proven to handle all conditions. Up in grade but still has to be included.
