Verdict

STEEL KNIGHT (5) has started at short quotes at his last couple but let backers down, most recently finishing a well-beaten fourth over 5 ¾f at the Beaumont circuit. Enjoys a bit of weight relief today and draws a perfect gate so supporters should give him one more chance. YES YES BOSS (7) came from last at one stage to get up for fourth in an eye-catching effort over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury recently. Big chance over her pet trip on a bigger track. CENTURY SONG (1) resumes and has been in the money at four of his five first-up runs. Has raced here at this trip five times for three wins and two placings. Sure to be popular with stats gurus. AEGIPAN (9) was caught very wide for the trip when he failed here last start. Suited by the small field and has a fine record over many seasons at this distance. Can bounce back. BOOM BREAK (4) resumes. Likely leader and can run a cheeky race while fresh.
