Verdict

PRETTY BABY (1) has gone from strength to strength this campaign and gets a great opportunity to bring up the hat-trick. Goes up in the weights this time after her demolition job two weeks ago but she looks better suited at the 6f and is in too good of form to look past. DUSTEE (2) dug deep to get off the mark two back when leading pillar-to-post at Seymour. Followed it up with a brave front-running effort on the Heath last time but was just reeled in late. Expect him to push forward again and give another bold sight. CHICA ASTUTA (3) failed to live up to his firm market support last start when beaten a long way by Pretty Baby. Clearly wasn't at her best there, deserves another look. LAST WEEKS PAY (5) has jumped out sharply in readiness to his debut and gets in light with the 7lbs claimer engaged. Not underestimating. AZYTASS (4) should be peaking now and remains in the mix.
