Verdict

GERALDINE'S WISH (13) goes well for hoop Morrison who is yet to miss a drum in five rides and will be high on confidence following that last-start Cairns victory. Should get a cosy run in transit from gate four and can go back-to-back without surprising. TSUNAMI (7) has a win and a second from four attempts over this track and trip and gets plenty of weight relief with the 4lbs claim. Can figure in the finish despite the sticky draw. HELL OF A TRIP (8) saves her best form for this distance range and will be rock-hard fit now fourth run back from the break. Include in calculations. FANCY GARTER (10) has hit the frame at the past couple and looks to be working up to another win. May trouble the judge. KIRKALL (5) rounds out the selections.
