Verdict: ETHAN'S GIRL gets a firm vote. She looks set to capitalise if the leaders go too fast and has proved she can get her head in front. Ila Veiw Too looks best of the rest.

Ethan's Girl

Jockey: Glenn Corbett Trainer: Justin Evans Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 14-66

11/8

Comment: Grade looks suitable and represents a powerful yard; not disgraced when sixth of eight in a claimer 26 days ago; claiming value now drops to $4.5k; stable is ticking along nicely; a leading player as her peak speed figure over the past year puts her clear and shown she can win fairly recently.
