Verdict

RIBCRACKER (5) has a tricky barrier to overcome but is in the country's premier stable and should be ready to fire after three runs in what have been stronger races than he finds himself in here. DHANUSH (2) has been a model of consistency but has made a habit of finding one or two better and that might again be the case from a wide alley. Does have the benefit of a 2100m run under his belt though. BUDJIK BOY (1) has been hard to knock at three runs this time and importantly draws better than some of the others leading fancies. DON'T DOUBT TIGGA (13) was good first-up when specked at double-figure odds and will have derived great benefit from that, which was at 1600m. MICK DUNDEEL (3) has been a costly conveyance but certainly has the talent to be a factor and is well-drawn.

Verdict
Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation fourth of 12 at Geelong Mdn-Sw June 21 over 1715m, 4 len behind Eye For An Eye carrying 59.5kg at $1.80. When resuming last campaign fourth of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw May 23 over 1600m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Makdane carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Should give a great sight fresh.

Returned from break sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on September 15 over 1600m, 4 len behind Zaaffair Steal with 59.5kg at $10. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Four-year-old mare (Crackerjack King - The Queen's Walk) at the races for the first time. Has had five jumpouts in preparation for the debut but recent efforts have only been fair.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 5th of 9 at Horsham Mdn-Sw on August 26 over 1400m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind French Graffiti with 59.5kg at $4.50. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn Hcp on September 22 over 1400m, in the wet; 0.5 len behind Alittlebitapolly carrying 56.5kg at $4. Improved effort second-up and looks one of the better chances.

Verdict
Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, second last of 8 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on August 27 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Fridge Monster with 57.5kg at $67. Last start ran last of 11 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on September 13 over 1240m, 15 len behind Armauer carrying 57.5kg at $151. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.
