Verdict

MONNIE (10) just missed here fresh behind Spice Alley before a disappointing run at Moruya last start when on a wet deck. Back onto the Acton track now is a big tick and JVO replaces the apprentice hoop. Looks poised to strike third-up and a forward showing is on the cards. AQUILINO (6) is better than he showed last time out where he looked to lack some speed over the short course. Out in trip now looks a good move and with improvement likely, he's not to be discounted. SKIBIDI (1) is third-up now on the back of some strong efforts this campaign. Can make an impression. BELLEISTIC BONNY (4) can go one better this time around without surprising.
