Verdict

MAC THUNDER (2) looks close to a win after he led from wider and fought well to go under by just a head here last week, adding to a string of top-four finishes. Likely to get all the favours from this lower draw and should be at peak fitness. Primary contender. SAPPHIRESNDIAMONDS (3) is another racing consistently, making it back-to-back placings when second last start at this venue and distance, beaten 1.2 metres. Draws for another strong showing. HALLOWEEN (10) draws wide but must be respected having made it two wins from his last three starts by scoring here last week. LARRIKIN LENNY (6) is working up to a win having come from similar draws to this to place in his last two appearances.
