Verdict

AURIO (2) drops back to 6f today as he gets back to Class 4. He's trialled well since his latest effort and the booking of Zac Purton suggests this is a targeted assault. Can sit closer than what we've seen recently and can turn his form right around. Can end his winning drought. TELECOM POWER (12) was beaten 1.3L at this track and trip last time out when jumping favourite. He maps for a lovely run once again and now Bentley takes the ride. He remains down in the weights and can put himself right in the finish once again. LOVEISINTHEAIR (3) is an improving 3YO who has been running on impressively from the back. Bowman was questioned regarding his tactics last time out but was cleared of any wrongdoing. Nice trial coming into this and can be storming over the top. EXCELLENT PEERS (8) is ticking along well without winning and finds a suitable race this time.
