Verdict

NAVY SLIPPERS (12) resumes for a top metro barn (Ciaron Maher) and will likely be good enough to take care of this field. Jumps from the rails gate and will be all the better for the two trials. The betting will be key. LULU A NATURAL (10) was quickly back on track beaten 1.5 lengths over 5 ½f at Armidale. Has her share of ability and is one of the best chances. MISHANI HERCULES (4) peaks off a narrow defeat at Ipswich. Spiked his figures but has to stretch out over further today. He can't be ruled out. SOLAR SURFER (5) went much better at Dalby and will likely improve further. A chance if he does.
