Verdict

BAINBRIDGE (5) made a good start in Queensland when he showed speed and kept finding for second last start at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but looks a big chance to go one better. TIGER BAND WAGON (6) comes here just three days after finishing second to the smart Captain Shuffles at this circuit and distance. Races well when third-up so could be ready to peak. FIRE RAISER (2) has been solid in two outings since a win at this circuit and distance and draws well. DRAGON (1) has been racing well with a win and two placings from his last three outings and draws to advantage.
