Verdict

RACANA (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 5.5 metres into seventh at this track over 1 m. Finds a suitable assignment and from this nice draw can play a major role. OPALLANE (3) was third at this track two runs ago before making up plenty of ground in a sustained run only to find a couple better at his latest appearance over 1 ¼m at Redcliffe. Has the benefit of a good draw and can play a leading role. MISTER SEASIDE (8) is the next best after finishing third over 1 ¹/16m at Redcliffe last time out. MY ULTIMATE MARIO (1) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Redcliffe over 1 ¹/16m.
