Verdict

Tricky race. The interesting horse is MERCURIAL LADY (10) who resumed with a dominant seven length maiden win at Ballarat Synthetic. The form around her first two runs has stood up and although she'd possibly prefer 1400m now she can measure right up. BETWITCHERY (5) is racing well, going forward at a good tempo and almost pinching a winning break at Sandown Hillside last start, only run down in the shadows of the post by the smart Terilee. That's good form for this. ILLYIVY (7) is a progressive sort who broke through for a narrow maiden win last start. Profiles well and may be able to go on with it now. STAGE 'N' SCREEN (2) lead throughout for a tough win at Pakenham last time out and should be in this for a long way also. ATTACHMENTS (4) has won two in a row and has to be respected once more.
