Verdict

Sticking with QUICK FINISH (12) who debuted at Bendigo over 7f in what looks a stronger maiden, in the market there and battling away for fifth. She should be a sharp improver off that and the rise to 7 ½f from a perfect draw can see her go close. CRAFTY QUEEN (5) has placed in her past two, both over this track and distance. She draws inside now which could see her settle closer and take beating. JUST SWIFT (7) just found one better here last time to continue her consistent form. She'll likely get back again and should be right there. JULEP (6) is relatively lightly raced, coming off a career best at Swan Hill last start. She can measure up again. MASTER FOX (14) is going okay and in the mix.
