Verdict

DAY DAY VICTORY (3) scored his maiden victory last start at this track and trip to win by 0.5L after landing in a midfield position. He's drawn ideally again today along the inside and he can bring up back-to-back victories. ACE TALENT (12) led them up last start and was gunned down late over 0.8L at this course and distance behind Day Day Victory. He draws much better this time and can go a couple better this time around. RAGNARR (4) got a long way back over this track and trip last time out when beaten 0.5L running on from the back. The wide draw is a niggle again, but Bowman remains in the saddle and he's expected to be running on strongly once again. MODEST GENTLEMAN (7) is better than he showed last start and now gets Atzeni in the saddle. Can put his best foot forward.
