Verdict
Catchmeifyoucan returned to winning ways fitted with a tongue-tie at Perth back in September but the headgear is missing today. On We Go has won three times here, including her latest start over 3m, while Newcastle third Bella Bluesky is preferred to Nora The Xplorer. HEADSCARF LIL has caught the eye finishing strongly for second over shorter trips on her last couple of outings and she gets the vote to go one better. El Poppochapo won here in January but was engaged to race here yesterday.
