Verdict

Last start winners everywhere here in a very good contest but tipping VEYEPEE (6) is the best of them. His two wins this time in have been excellent, coming from a mile back fresh then way too good at Mornington. He's very progressive and with any luck from the gate he'll go close again. CLASSIC GEM (8) got her maiden out of the way first up at Bendigo at $1.55. Fourth in a G1 ATC Oaks last time in says she's right up to this sort of level with improvement to come. IN'KANTOSSTAR (9) has won three on the bounce. He's Jimmysstar's brother and is doing the family proud, too good again at the shorts at Caulfield Heath last time. Hard to knock. JUST DESSERTS (10) has won three in a row as well and has the benefit of racing on speed. Can't see the trip pulling him up, very hard to catch. EMPEROR TZU (3) has also won three in a row and is hard to knock but others may have a bit more upside.
