Verdict

ICON DREAM (7) frustrating mare who gets one more chance from the inside gate with the claim. Rattled late three starts back when second to Golden Century over 1 ¼m at Kembla. Top three contender. LIYAH'S GIRL (9) another from the Matt Smith yard who relished the extra ground third-up when closing strongly for a solid second over 1 ¼m at Canberra. Adkins sticks from the low gate and is capable of playing a leading role. MY GREEK GOD (2) is racing in career-best form and comes here in peak condition. Three weeks between runs when sitting up on the speed for a game second over 1 ?m at Scone. Can push forward from the draw and doesn't have to lift much to win this. ANULFA (4) keeps improving with racing and indicated she was near her best when hanging tough late to finish third over 1 ¼m at Canberra. Gets weight relief with the claim and expected to be in the finish.
