Verdict

Tricky race. SIGIRIYA ROCK (5) resumes. He got over more ground last time in but we fancy a mile could be his best trip so the 7 ?f fresh here looks to suit. Didn't quite measure up in good company last time in but has ability that takes him a long way at this level. GLASGOW LASS (1) resumes for a new camp. She's a talented Perth mare who beat a good one two back before not seeing out 1 ?m at Listed level. Tough draw and a big weight but respecting her talent. SCINTILLANTE (2) resumes, another one boasting strong 3yo form lines. The G1 SA Derby fourth was a good run, just whether he's sharp enough over this trip is the issue. BLUEPINOT (12) did enough fresh over shorter at Ballarat and has race fitness on his side. Hard to hold out. FRIDGE MONSTER (3) is flying and has to be considered again.
