Verdict

Looks a wide-open affair. Former NSW galloper DUKE OF CAMDEN (5) went down by a narrow margin when having the first run for the new stable and will have taken some benefit from that hit-out. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to play a major role in the outcome. TOO DARN FINESSE (12) has put back-to-back wins together over this distance range and it's hard to knock mares in form. Gets 2kg off and can bring up the hat-trick here. You'd love to own a stable full of gallopers like OUR HUNTRESS (9) who is yet to miss a drum in eight career efforts. Has to be included. The well-related MISS FUNNY HONEY (10) (half to G1 winner Vega One) returned to the winners' stall last time out and gets in light with the 3kg claim. Shouldn't be discounted lightly. KIWI RAIDER (18) next best with the reliable Gollan/Lang combination.
