In depth
Verdict
JESSICA RABBIT tends to find little off the bridle but she's still feasibly weighted off a mark of 89 and this doesn't look the deepest of contests. Kielan Woods will need to produce her as late as possible to benefit from the short run-in. Balranald could prove the stumbling block on the best of his form and Brian Hughes is booked with headgear applied. He's respected along with the unexposed Do No Wrong. Be The Difference has suggested he's better than his current mark and needs monitoring in the market.
