Verdict

DIAMOND FIRETAIL (9) resumes. She's a three-year-old filly who showed good ability last time in work, running some good races behind talented horses. She's open to plenty of improvement and should prove very hard to hold out. SKIPJACK (7) won easily fresh at Cranbourne over this trip, scoring by two lengths. He's likely to get a fair way back with the apprentice on which is always a concern but he could round them up. MISS SUNSHINE (10) resumes. She's a consistent mare, still lightly raced, who has often been favourite or close to it. She's got ability and ticks a few boxes with Lane on. CASTELLAR (3) is in great form and has to be respected again while CHINQUI (6) could be a sharp improver second up.
