Verdict

CELESTIAL DEAL (5) started favourite and led all the way to win with authority on debut last start over 1100m at Scone. Sure to kick on with that run out of the way. Will prove very hard to catch again around this tight circuit. KWIRKY SMILE (7) settled midfield and couldn't improve in the run home when first-up over 1000m at Hawkesbury last time out. Better placed out to this trip. Should feature in the finish with a bit of good fortune required from an awkward gate. BEVERLY HILLS (1) returns after a 15-week spell. Didn't come up as hoped last prep but was competitive in town the campaign prior so she definitely has the talent to play a key role. FIRE 'N' STONE (3) is back after a 24-week lay-off. Recent Scone trial winner who looks ready to make an immediate impact. GAELIC GEM (9) battled on well for third in a similar race here last time out. Rock hard fit after three runs back and should be about the money again.
