Verdict

IN SITU (1) raced handy to the pace and kept on going strongly to win by nearly 2 lengths last start over 1213m here 3 weeks ago to make it back-to-back wins. A tougher draw is against her, but the hat-trick is not beyond her. BUBBLES IN RIO (6) is winless in 14 starts but ran a close second over 1000m at Ascot 17 days ago, and has been placed in her only start here. She has the services of Patrick Carbery, who is a positive jockey change, and she is capable of going one better. SCENIC BOOM (5) returns from a three-month break and lines up for a new local stable. He hasn't been seen at the trials, but will be ready to rumble. Check the markets. SCENIC WINGS (7) has also changed stables and resumes from a spell with a nasty gate. She is capable and should be included in all top 4 combinations, especially if the money comes for her. UNDERCOVER SNIPER (2) has been holding his form well for some time, and is another with top 4 claims, with any luck from his tricky gate.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 6th of 10 at this track Mdn on December 15 over 1417m, 6 len behind Blood Saint with 53kg at $13.
