|---|---|---|---|---|

THE BRIDE (12) has been racing well of late. Chased a handy one to place in her last two outings in Tasmania and won her only attempt at this circuit and distance prior. Has winning claims with even luck from the back row. EMILY VINCENT (13) looks close to a win after back-to-back seconds. Only went under by a neck from this row at Geelong last time and was beaten 1.2m at this circuit and distance prior. Tricky draw but could break through with even luck. JOYRIDE (10) only beat a couple home in the Breeders Crown 3F Final last start after a fourth in the heats. Will enjoy a class drop and hasn't missed a place at this distance. JAZZY MELEA (11) steps out for the first time since July but was consistent last time in including a hat trick of wins so keep safe.
