Verdict

Canberra Cliffs is feared with the experienced George Wood booked to ride Dan Cantillon's mare. The triumvirate have combined for two success this year and it would come as little surprise should they add another. Whilst the filly requires a career best to take this, EXCLUSIVE WATERS remains well below his peak marks. His manner of victory last time suggested he was a long way ahead of the handicapper as he won with more in hand than the 6L margin suggested. A top apprentice is able to claim 3lb in this and the pair promise to be hard to beat. Mysterial is a front-runner who has scored here under this rider. From a yard in form and with a visor to assist he represents good each-way value at the forecast odds.
  1. Exclusive Waters
  2. Mysterial
  3. Canberra Cliffs
