Verdict
This may be the day for HEPPLEWHITE to finally gain some reward for a handful of consistent efforts. Tobouggaloo is closely matched on the pick of her form and has to be feared as a threat, while Monsieur Glory has acted well at this track in the past and is no forlorn hope to be involved at the business end.
