Verdict

TOMMY BLIGH (2) backs up after he came from a couple of spots wider to score by close to 5m at this circuit and distance last Friday. Deserved that having placed in four of his previous six outings. Racing well and a low draw could see him go back-to-back. JAY TEE TYRON (8) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and had been racing well prior, placing in three of his previous four starts. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw and the sprint lane is in play. Can figure in the finish. LA SABINA (6) must be considered after she came from a similar draw and finished runner-up at this circuit and distance a week ago. LA BOMBA (9) draws on the second line but is worth some thought after her last-start fourth.
