Verdict

COVERT ROSE (3) was sound first-up from back in the field over 1300m and getting up to the mile second-up looks a good move. She boasts a strong second-up record and Pike hopping on board suggests she's ready to fire. Maps to get her chance and looks the one to beat. MANHATTAN STRIP (1) settled last over 1300m here last start and beat home Covert Rose on that occasion. The inside draw may be a query with his racing style, though he's proven here and if he can stretch his recent form, he'll take beating. IDYLLIC RULER (2) is racing in good order in stronger races and returns to a track and trip where he's had plenty of success. The 2kg claim comes in handy and he'll go close if they're positive out of the barriers. JUST LEROY (4) was too good here last time out and drops in weight off that effort. Can go on with the job. SKETTA (7) is not out of this on what he did last start in tougher company.

Second-up. First-up after four months eased back early on 5th of 7 at this track Cl5 on September 4 over 1300m, slow going 2.25 len behind Ishkur carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 8 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on March 1 over 1600m, nose behind Here For Cheques carrying 57.5kg at $4.60. Looks poised to strike second-up.

Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.7 len at this track Cl3 August 28 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Random Rewards carrying 58kg at $4.80. The start before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at Belmont Park Rtg 52+ on August 13 over 2200m, slow going 9 len behind Ilgiro Delmondo with 59kg at $5.50. Racing well and should get his chances.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Belmont Park 0Mwly on September 3 over 1650m, slow going 6 len behind Noble Connection with 52.5kg at $201. The start before that 9th of 11 at Bunbury All Weather Cl5 on August 21 over 2000m, 18 len behind Arnray with 52.5kg at $51. Doubt he will offer up too much of a challenge to the top few.
