Verdict

HOLY HELL (2) continues to race in terrific form and should have strong support again. Gains handy weight relief with the claimer aboard and only needs to hold her level to add another win to the tally. AMANOAH (4) showed real grit last start when leading throughout and fending off all challengers over this trip. This isn't much tougher and she deserves plenty of respect. TJAKA (6) has been warming into her prep nicely, hitting the line well in both runs back. The rise to the mile third-up looks ideal and the 7lbs claimer keeps her in super light. Expect her to be charging late. MISSILE MEG (7) was a flashing light at Kerang last start when just missing the frame. Strips fitter third-up and picks up the in-form Boudvillain. A genuine knockout hope.
