Verdict

HEZA PLAYER (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when midfield in a Golden Guitar heat. Draws wider but is suited dropping in class and he strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. Primary contender. ARNIES ARMY (7) went back from a wide barrier last start so there was merit in his effort for fifth, beaten less than 6 metres. Owns a good record at this longer distance and draws for a trail. Threat with even luck. ESCALERA (3) hasn't performed to market expectations of late but draws well so could turn things around. PURE DRAGON (9) cops a tricky draw but is back in grade and was a winner here two back.
