Verdict

SWEET STRIKE (10) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1m at this track, beaten 4 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back to winning form. THE DEVILS FLAME (9) was in the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then improved sharply at his latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at Penrith, scoring comfortably by 5.5 metres after being handy all the way. Has to contend with a very wide draw. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. DOLCE DRAMA (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1 ¹/16m at Riverina Paceway last time out. SKY BLU (8) ended last prep with a sixth at this track over 1m 12 weeks ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.
