Verdict

ACE POWER (7) has flown home his past couple to be right in the finish, beaten 2L last start when not having much luck in the run. Zac Purton remains in the saddle today and he should've finished much closer last time. Can return to winning ways. THE PERFECT MATCH (5) flew home over this track and trip 42 days ago when only 1.3L off the winner. He hasn't been sighted publicly since that outing, but Bowman takes the ride now. Likely to get back in the run but can storm over the top of them in the straight. STRAIGHT TO GLORY (3) missed narrowly two back before a 1.5L victory last start at this track and trip. He rises in weight today, but should land in a handy position and is expected to be in the finish once more. SUPERB KING (2) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and is not to be discounted.
