Verdict

PERFECT TEN (4) looks nicely placed again. She's come back in super form winning 2/3 and just missing in the other. She was well ridden on the Hillside track here last time out and finds another very suitable affair up on speed from a good draw around today's tighter circuit. ELEANOR DUMONT (1) has built a cracking little record with 4 wins from 8 starts including a dominant display at Geelong when last seen. Bit tougher here but she'll be up on speed and the 1m should only suit better. Liked the return of STUPENDOUS (8) at Caulfield Heath getting home well for a narrow fifth. She'll be fitter and hard to hold out. STREET LARK (11) is racing okay this time in and has each-way claims. GEFFINA (3) should be hitting the line.
