Verdict

LADY SKYLLA (5) resumes for a new yard and looks to have turned the corner after a quiet previous prep. Her lead-up work has been sharp, she draws well, and with Pannell booked she can make an immediate impact fresh. HASSLEFREE (2) was solid late when finishing fourth here last time. Kept fresh for this, he'll be doing his best work late again. VICTORY QUEEN (6) returns off a Bordertown trial win and appears to have come back in good order. With a favourable draw, she's among the key chances and worth monitoring in betting. BRAZANO (4) has been prepared with a pair of jumpouts and boasts a strong fresh record. He deserves respect first-up. SAMANTH (8) worked home soundly into midfield at Balaklava when resuming. Likely to go back again but can be running on late into the minors.
