Verdict

MR DESIRA (2) is racing well this campaign, winning two back before a 1L defeat over this track and trip last time out. He had to do some work from the barrier, so a slightly softer draw this time around can increase his chances. Still building into his career and he can get back to winning ways. QUICK MONEY (1) drops back in grade today following a 3.8L defeat at this track and trip last start and looks primed for a much better effort today. J-Mac rides from a better barrier and sharp improvement is on the cards. WINNING MACHINE (12) bounced back to form last time out on the All Weather, finishing a half-length off the winner last time out. Blinkers go on for the first time now and he can be tough to run down with his early speed. BUNTA BABY (8) wasn't beaten far last start and has turn in a nice trial since. Record at this course is iffy, but his recent form suggests he's right in this.
