Verdict
SA Derby winner CURIOUS GIRL ran well in defeat under a big weight against male opposition on her seasonal debut. She is unbeaten in two appearances at this track, is distance suited and will strip fitter so is hard to oppose under the conditions. BELLEROPHON, POSITIVE ATTITUDE and CORRUPT are proven stayers with the means to trouble the selection. UTSAAH has found her niche over staying distances but must raise her game to be competitive at this level. BEST CANDIDATE has performed well over 2000m but is an unknown quantity over this trip. There is stamina on his dam's side so he can't be ignored.
