Verdict

GIDUP CAPTAIN (3) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third at Redcliffe. That made it two placings on the trot so he looks close to a win. Has the benefit of a good draw so gets his chance. MAJOR LINCOLN (9) tackled a higher-graded race last start at Redcliffe. Recorded a second and a fourth in this class at this circuit and distance prior. Expected to run well. MISS HATTIE (4) did some work when midfield last time but had placed in the previous three outings so is on the radar. LETS GO BAILEY (10) is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to finish third from this barrier.
