Verdict

WATCH ME ROCK (2) hit his straps at the end of last campaign, winning comfortably over the mile with Pike in the saddle. He's trialled well coming into this around some smart types and Pike reunites first-up. Drawn to sit close to the speed and he can pick up where he left off. SIBERIAN SIREN (10) comes through a good race first-up where the form has been franked. Chris Parnham sticks and she drops in weight today. Still looks an improving type and she can go to the next level now. BERBERE (4) has won 2/3 first-up and this trip looks ideal for his return. CJP rides and he can feature first-up despite no trials coming in. LONSDALEITE (5) hasn't been far away of late and has to be included.
