Verdict

THE NINJA (8) finished second at this track two starts back then did a good job again at his latest appearance over 1 ¹/16m at the same circuit, beaten 8 metres into second after being handy in the run. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. DON CRUNCH (10) is stepping out for the first time. By Captain Crunch and hails from the Tori Hutchins stable. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Looks to have some talent based on a recent trial win and will be ready to run a big race. PRIDDY CARSON (7) finished third over 1 ¹/16m here last start at his first racetrack appearance. Strips fitter and can make his presence felt. MINI VINNEY (6) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1 5/16m at this course last time out. One for the exotics players.
