Verdict

THINKHARDANDFAST (6) is a consistent conveyance who has only missed a drum once in 11 career outings and will be high on confidence following that last-start Sunny Coast victory. Gets in well at the weights with the 7lbs claim and can go back-to-back without surprising. The penny has dropped for AMAHNI'S GIRL (9) who has won three of her past five starts and it's hard to knock mares in form. Looms as the main danger. THROTTLE RESPONSE (11) has hit the frame at his past three outings and looks to be building up to another victory. In the mix. MANNERHEIM (5) has a handy record around this circuit with a win and four placings from seven spins and should get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble. Capable of featuring prominently. BIG TICKET BOY (7) rounds out the selections in an open contest.
