In depth

Verdict

Only five run here and SHE'S HUMBLE looks set to take all with biggest threats coming from Most Definitely and Laconicos. The seven-year-old mare has been progressing since returning to action earlier this year. Two consecutive fourth place finishes here recently stand her in good stead here. This step up in trip should be of great benefit and the going is of preference so victory looks imminent. Most Definitely has shown little in the way of good form recently but should do well in such lowly company. The exposed gelding finished behind the selection last time out and a similar result here looks likely. Laconicos has failed to follow up on a impressive return to action three starts ago. He is tried over longer here but a place in the minors may be as good as it will get for the seven-year-old. For our selection then we return to She's Humble.
