Verdict

CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (6) settled handy then found the lead only to weaken in the straight and finish fourth last start over 1 5/16m at this track, the second miss in a row after winning at this track three runs back. Has the talent to find the winners' list. THE LADYBIRD (3) turned in a poor effort by her standards most recently when 13 metres away in seventh over 1 m at Shepparton. Form prior to that had been solid. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DAYLIGHT (8) can secure a cosy run early on, an he is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1 ¹/16m at this track last time out. PUNTO CALIENTE (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1 ¹/16m at this track on July 31. Include in all top 4 combos at a decent price.
