Verdict

SUNSHINE WARRIOR (5) won at this track two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 1 5/16m here, beaten 4.5 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can give this a real shake. PUNTO CALIENTE (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in second over 1 5/16m at this circuit. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. DREAMTIME NALA (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1 ¹/16m at this venue. Top-three aspirations. NEDS BEACH (8) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1 5/16m at Shepparton. One for the multiples.
