Tamarind Bay arrives here narrowly behind Spectacularsunrise on ratings but holds a meaningful edge in fitness and looks the more progressive of the two, with a profile that suggests further improvement is well within reach. The top-rated rival has claims on bare figures alone, while The Last Cloud matches Tamarind Bay's rating and Scalpnagoon cannot be dismissed at this trip on good ground, yet neither can point to the same combination of current condition and upward trajectory. Proven on this type of ground and over a demanding twenty furlongs at Perth, Tamarind Bay looks the one to be on, and the selection is Tamarind Bay.
