Verdict
One For Hocky beat Miss Deefiant at Perth in August but jumped poorly and fell at this track last time when still in contention. Irish raider Burnt Sienna has a shout on her placed efforts in Ireland but CATCHTHEMOONLIGHT is given another chance with headgear applied for the first-time after finishing second at Perth last month. Brunello has slipped down the weights and may do better returning from a short break today.
