Verdict

Open race. GIGGENBACH (2) is going well, third at Sandown Hillside in a strongly run race two back before a close up effort in a bunched finish over this route. She can be positive from a wide gate with Shinn on and should go close. THE DEVIL IN HER (1) can mix her form but up in trip will suit much better now, respecting. DON'T DOUBT DARE (7) is a chance on the run two back at Flemington but does tend to mix her form a bit. A more genuinely run race can suit better than last time. SOUL MISTRESS (11) is coming off a dominant maiden win at Pakenham Synthetic, sent out $1.40 and bolting in by 4.3 lengths. Have to respect again.
