Verdict

GOODNESS (9) has placed in both starts to date and looks nicely set up to break through here. She's been beaten under a length each time, making good ground to get within a neck of the winner at Caulfield Heath last time out. This looks the easiest race she's contested and suspect she'll be too good. SHE'S ASTUNNERARCH (11) has been thereabouts in two runs to date, battling into a long fourth last time at Kilmore having placed on debut. She can improve again and draws well for the Hayes yard. UPCOMING (6) is a gelding by Impending on debut for the Ben Brisbourne yard who always have to be respected on their home deck. He's jumped out well and can figure. WEST FORTY SEVENTH (7) has been solid in two runs back and has minor claims as does CHICKY WA WA (8) who can run well fresh off a trial win.
