Verdict

Good race this. SANTANOVA (5) made it back-to-back wins here 21 days ago when rounding up her rivals with ease, scoring by 0.8L. She's gone to another level her past couple and looks ready to continue through the grades. Should be good tempo up front which can see her flying home once again. AMAROO STAR (4) has been back to the trials since posting his third win on end here 28 days ago. He ran to a new peak there and looks to have the scope to go to another level yet again. Form out of his last start has been franked and he looks to get plenty of favours again here. HAIDA GWAII (3) bounced back to winning ways here 13 days ago and Brad Parnham takes the ride now. The good draw should see her on the speed again and she'll take plenty of catching once more. TYCOON HARRY (6) has run well behind Amaroo Star previously and has to be included on that effort.
