In depth

Verdict

EARTH AND SKY (NAP) drops down in trip bidding for a hat-trick of course wins. She won with a bit to spare on both occasions over the mile trip here and looks worth sticking with. Stringybark Creek found the selection too good last time having won over track and trip before that while Little Palaver won by a neck here in October and is 3lb higher on her return. Champion Brogie landed a lower grade contest at this venue earlier and Al Asef continues to slide down the weights and is preferred to Southwell plating winner Bedtime Bella.
