Verdict

WINNING MONEY (8) has led them up his past couple and has only been caught late, finishing 0.3L off the winner most recently. He'll have the speed to work across from out wide and if he can get a breather through the middle stages, he'll be very hard to mow down. LAKESHORE HERO (6) got the job done by a half-length here fresh and has turned in a quiet trial since then. The wide draw is a query, although he did storm home from beyond midfield to win fresh. Can repeat the dose without surprising. GOLDEN LUCK (10) can land just off the speed from a good draw after a slightly disappointing effort last start. His run here two back was great and a return to that level would see him right in the finish again. VICTOR THE RAPID (2) flew home last start dropping back to this grade last time out. Likely to get back from the draw, but can storm home over the top.
