Verdict

RED HOT MIKI (1) has come from wider or second row barriers of late so is much better served by the ace draw. Could show his best from there in what looks a suitable assignment. LOSEASHOE (2) hasn't quite performed to market expectations in recent outings but did come from a wider barrier than this for a win here last month. Draws well so can measure up with his A-game. PRIDDY CARSON (10) could be close to a win after placing in three of his last four attempts at this venue, two of those coming from this row. THE AFRICAN QUEEN (5) is worth plenty of thought after coming from this same barrier for a last-start win by 1.7 metres at this circuit and distance.
