Verdict

NORTHVIEW CRUNCHA (10) backs up after he came from this barrier for fourth on Friday. Won the other two times he raced here. With even luck he has the ability to mix it with them. BETTOR BE BODHI (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3.4 metres from the winner in third. Placed in six of his previous seven starts, all of them here. Big chance. RACANA (2) didn't do a bad job when fifth after racing wide early last time out and gets her best draw since she missed by just a nose here three back. BETTOR CHEER (4) is suited stepping back up to this distance having scored at it here two back.
