Verdict
The final race of 2019 at this unique track. CHOCOLAT NOIR, the only course and distance winner in the field, scored here on her last visit in late May under Danny Cook and the pair reunite here. It wouldn't be the biggest surprise if this race has been the plan for a while. Two of the last three runs of Pads, notably a recent Perth third to Game Line, bring him into contention and it's always wise to include runners from the local Moffatt yard in calculations. That brings Mondlicht and She Got Fast into view with the latter preferred after running his best race to date latest when unseating late on. Jesse Jude also has place claims.
