Verdict

SHENANDOAH RIVER (15) strengthened over the break and comes to town chasing her third-straight victory. Sped to the front and never headed in fast time when scoring over 4 ½f at Scone. Gets in light with Nock's claim and will take catching. SERENADING (16) nice filly undefeated in two career starts. Deserves her chance in the city after working hard from the outside draw when a game winner over 4 ½f at Albury. Leading rider booked and drawn to tag the fast tempo. SATIN STILETTO (2) resumes with a good fresh record from an in-form stable. Back without a trial and gets weight relief with Grima's 7lbs claim. Proven at this level and shapes as a top-three chance. LADY OLENNA (6) sharp mare resuming. Thrown in the deep end at start four when a courageous tenth in the LR Denise's Joy over 5 ½f at Scone last May. Primed for this with the two trials but poorly drawn. Keep safe. SHE WITHIN (11) consistent Highway mare resuming. Fitted with the one trial and this stable must always be respected.
