Verdict

Bennelong won the last time he raced over track and trip and Richard Hughes takes over the reins for this. Celestial Knight was beaten only a short-head over course and distance last month while Loraine should be spot on now after a couple of recent outings and won here last year. But GRACEFILLY is the least exposed and having shown a big improvement to take second over 7f here three weeks ago, Ed Walker's filly gets the vote to come good on her handicap debut.
