Verdict

LUCKY PLANET (7) made it back-to-back wins in dominant fashion last start, coming back to this course and distance to bolt in by 4L. He draw similarly today and drops 10lbs for the rise in grade. Hard to ignore what he did last start and if he runs up to that level again, he can bring up the hat-trick. BEAUTY INFINITY (3) was only 1.5L off the winner most recently and maps for a lovely run once again under Avdulla. Going well without winning and he maps for a lovely run again. Can put himself in the finish once again. KING MILES (10) just missed last time out when only 0.8L off the winner at this track and trip. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now and he has the speed to cross from out wide. Can go one better this time around. FATAL BLOW (9) got the job done by 0.3L last start and the form out of that race has been franked already. Nice horse on the rise and can win again.
