Verdict
Rated 84, ARCTIC VICTORY looks the one to beat in this. A winner over today’s trip at Windsor on her debut, she ran well again under a penalty at the same track last time and has beaten Spring Glow on both occasions. The latter should do better back over today’s trip but Melburnian and Windrush Song make no appeal. Bellarisa’s dam is related to a Group 3 winner so is preferred to King Of Spies of the newcomers.
