Verdict

MELATEN (4) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 6 ¾f at Julia Creek. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. INFINITE PRINCE (6) scored here last time out with 0.7 lengths in reserve at the end of 7 ¼f. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Should be prominent from the outset and will give a great sight. ZOUHOPE (2) finished 3.5 lengths back in third over 6 ¾f at Julia Creek last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Has a solid record at this circuit and has strong claims on his best form. YALLA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again just missed the frame last start over 6f at Stamford, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
