Verdict

RAINLINE (2) goes on top in the feature race after flying home to just miss in a photo finish at Northam last time out. This shapes differently however with Pike riding from a better barrier. She's third-up, poised to strike and rates very highly on her last start effort. Can get back to winning ways. GOD HAS DRIFTED (1) won three on-end before dropping the rider as the gates opened last start. His form prior was very strong and he's shown some versatility in the form. Riordan's claim comes in handy and he appears the main danger. TON OF GRUNT (4) hasn't won for a long time but went close to Rainline last start when only 0.2L off the winner last start at Northam. He rates highly on that form and this should shape nicely for him with the big field engaged. Can storm home late. BRAVE APACHE (8) is racing in good order and has the speed to cross from out wide. Will give them something to catch. STYLIN' (15) continues to improve with racing, though the wide barrier is a niggle.
