Verdict

MADHI GIRL (6) went huge during a winter campaign, and has returned without missing a beat, scoring fresh up by a head here 9 days ago in the Summer Scorcher Stakes over 1000m, taking her winning streak to 4 on the bounce. William Pike sticks with her, and so do we. RICHANCO (11) finished third behind the top pick in the same race at his second run back from a spell. He will be peaking for this, and with the aid of the pole position, he should go close to taking this out, especially with only 54kg to carry again. WIND AND THE LION (5) resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He was good enough to win at this level in July, and even without a trial, he is expected to sprint well fresh up. Check the markets. SINFUL LIVING (12) is closing in on another win and CUT THE TALK (7) is capable at this level on his best day. Include both in all top 4 combos.

Most recently 2nd of 11 at this track in the LR Summer Scorcher on January 1 over 1000m, head behind Madhi Girl with 54kg at $8.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track Epona Classic December 20 over 1200m defeating Supernatural with 60kg at $4.40. Likely to find this out of reach.

Second run back. First-up after five months favourite; came from midfield and won by a head at this track LR Summer Scorcher January 1 over 1000m defeating Jaz Session carrying 54kg at $2.20. Previously second-up favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at Bunbury Rtg 72+ July 19 over 1000m in soft going defeating Desert Whisper carrying 54kg at $5.50. It would be brave to tip against her on current form. In form and looks a top chance again.
