Verdict

SENSESSIONAL (12) sat close to the speed but couldn't match the turn-of-foot off a moderate tempo last start, beaten 1.22L by Bonjoy. Pike hops in the saddle now which is a big tick and he maps to be prominent from the outset. Key scratching with Bonjoy out and she is now the one to beat. OWN THE QUEEN (4) took no part last start when bucking at the start. She's trialled well since and getting up in trip looks ideal. Can sit closer than recent efforts and return to her best form. DEMOLISH (10) has performed well fresh in the past and trialled well recently. Back in trip off the Perth Cup but it wouldn't surprise to see him feature. ANTIQUE MISS (7) gets Parnham in the saddle now and she's expected to feature.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track Ascot Mile on February 1 over 1600m, 1.2 len behind Bonjoy with 55kg at $6. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track Rtg 72+ January 25 over 1600m defeating Ginger Green carrying 59kg at $3. Pike is a big addition and he can turn the tables.

On a three run winning streak. Most recently favourite; won by 0.6 len at this track Ascot Mile February 1 over 1600m defeating Antique Miss carrying 56kg at $2.10. The start before that favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track Aus Day January 18 over 1500m defeating Russian To The Bar with 58kg at $3.20. This looks to shape similarly to last start and she can win again.
