Verdict

The well-related ZARIPPA (2) (half to 2xG3 winner I'm A Rippa) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 6f at Dalby a month ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Jess Emmerson stays on and again gets the benefit of her 4lbs claim. Sure to run well. KING OF GERALDINE (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when eighth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 4f at Ipswich. Cherry-ripe now and is expected to run much better. ICYMISS (12) kept coming only to just miss last start over 5f at Sunshine Coast. Should be near her peak for this. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FINAL VOYAGE (13) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated.
