Verdict

THREE RIVERS (3) has been racing very well and deserved his victory last time out, taking advantage of the inside barrier to lead and score by 4.2 metres at this venue. Draws well enough to push forward again so could go back to back. ASHLEYS BLUE CHIP (9) will enjoy the return to this venue having won the last time she raced here three back. Has a tougher draw than she did on that occasion but her record at this circuit and distance is encouraging. HEZA DOOZIE (1) has had a series of wider or second line draws so is better served by the inside barrier and is proven at this circuit and distance. ARNIES ARMY (6) could be close to a win after coming from the back row to place in his last two outings here.
