Verdict
Don't Tell Sue is the pick in this competitive nursery, with Canina and Whipper In just two of many dangers. The Barry Hills trained filly deserves another victory having put in some solid displays recently. She showed plenty of early speed when winning on her debut and if using the same tactic today she will be hard to catch at this Dunstall Park track. Canina is making her all-weather debut but has shown much improved form on the turf recently and deserves every respect here. Meanwhile Whipper In has been knocking on the door lately and did put in a very good performance over course and distance back in August. In a wide open affair First Among Equals and Succeed also have claims on their best form, but Don't Tell Sue should be suited by this circuit and gets our vote.
