Verdict

GOODTIME MIKI (9) raced parked for a win at this circuit last month and looks close to another success after finishing second in his last two outings here, missing by just a head last week. Draws for a trail and if he gets the gaps could be hard to stop. NEED FOUR SPEED (4) has been racing well of late, adding to a string of top-four finishes when coming from wider to beaten 4m at his latest appearance at Menangle. Winning hope. TRIED AND TRUSTED (3) draws well again and has been runner-up twice in his last three starts, missing narrowly both times. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (5) draws wider but comes off a placing here last week.
