In depth
Verdict
La Maestra was readily outpointed in better company on her return from an absence in May but has solid claims if able to reproduce the form of her back-to-back victories in a seller and claimer last term. Sue Wilton's charge is well treated by the conditions of the race and gets the TEAMtalk nod over Domquista d'Or who has a bit to find at the weights while Hoh No has something to prove after unseating his rider last time and Simoski may need the outing after a near 15 months on the sidelines.
