Verdict

Bumper winner LADY BLUESKY got off the mark under flat rules last time when tried at this trip for the first time and given that was a comprehensive victory she can follow up. Fourth Generation is on form but was well held in second off this mark last time. That said Alan Swinbank's runner has scope for more so it would be dangerous to rule him out. Chookie Hamilton looks well treated on hold form and now with three runs this season should be cherry ripe while Beat The Shower has a clear chance off a winning rating if you can overlook his latest effort. A tight race but Lady Bluesky was winning well last time.
