Verdict

SNIPPETY LEGEND (4) got the job done impressively under similar conditions here two back as a $1.65 fav before taking on a Saturday race in town where he wasn't disgraced. Back to the scene of the crime now and Faithfull reunites. Ticks plenty of boxes and he looks set to return to winning form. TRULY GALLANT (9) resumed off a short break with a strong effort here as the favourite last time out. Nottle hops back in the saddle now and he'll be fitter for that effort. Can go one better without surprising. MANHATTAN STRIP (2) has been outclassed in stronger races recently but comes back to this level now which looks to suit. He's placed in both attempts at this track and trip. Can play a major role off the inside draw. GOLD KEEPER (3) is right on the cusp of another victory and he can't be left out. FEUDING (1) is better than we saw on resumption and can improve.
