Verdict

DANCINGONSTARLIGHT (1) has been coming from wider barriers of late and did manage a win three back at this circuit and distance. Should get every chance from the ace draw. IM HARVEY SPECTER (7) draws wider than last week but there was merit in that performance for third, beaten 2.6 metres at this circuit and distance. Can make an impact again with even luck. VILLAGE AREA (9) draws for a trail and is looming as a threat after a better effort for second here last week. PENCIL ME IN (4) has finished closer to the winner with each start so far this time in and could be ready to peak off last week's 3.4m fourth.
