Verdict

BLACK ORA (2) got back to winning ways last time out when scoring by 0.3L at this track and trip. Tougher here, but carries less weight after the claim of Nottle and the inside draw should see her get every possible chance in the run. Can repeat the dose today. SHMOOV MOOVA (6) flew home when favourite over Black Ora, finishing 1L away there when fresh from a spell. The better draw this time can see him sit closer and he gets a big weight swing in his favour. Can turn the tables now. KAY TEE WHY (4) will be fitter for the fresh effort where he jumped favourite off a 133 days break and without a trial. He's a second-up winner in the past and improvement is expected now. Brad Parnham rides and he can get back to winning ways. TYCOON HARRY (1) is hard to knock on his recent form and is looking for the hat-trick. Will take catching from the front. DESERT WHISPER (3) can make an impression first-up.
