Verdict

DARCYS FIREBALL (8) made it three placings in a row when he came from the back row for third last week. Came from this mark when beaten just 3m into second prior. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. DHONI TROUBLE (2) produced a strong effort last time out when he came from a ?f handicap and scored by 7 metres at this circuit and distance. Up in grade but starts from the front mark. MISTER BLINDSIDE (9) made a mess of the start last time but has a good record at this longer distance so is worth another chance. ALADDIN SANE (4) must be considered after he came from the ?f mark and finished third here a week ago.
