Verdict

ORIENTAL SURPRISE (12) is the one to beat after going within a neck at Happy Valley as favourite. His trial leading into the campaign on this surface was superb and he's placed in his only try at this track and trip. Building nicely and he can go one better this time around. DOUBLE BINGO (1) has not landed a blow in two runs back, but he is third-up and on a quick back-up that suits. A much better barrier this time around is a big tick and he can sit much closer this time. Looks well placed back in grade to turn his form around. HAPPYDEARHAPPYDEER (14) resumes after honest closing efforts last campaign and gets in light with an apprentice claim, with synthetic placings to support his case. SOARING BRONCO (4) can feature on his best form and he can recapture that now third-up.
