Verdict

CASH AND BLING (3) did a good job to return to winning form in the heats, drawing clear late to score by close to 8m. Should be prominent again from the good draw so could back that up. Hard to knock the form of DUKES CHOICE (1) who has put two wins together at this circuit. Draws for a soft run so could land the hat trick. MIKI COHEN (8) went under by just a nose in his heat last week. Draws wider but his records at both the circuit and the distance read well and he is good enough to win with his A-game. SCARED STIFF (6) won from this draw two back at Wagga and didn't miss by much when runner-up last week. SET UP (2) looks close to a win and should get his chance from this draw.
