Verdict

DOUBLE ALPHA (6) bolted in at the trials recently under Poon and showed good speed to lead all the way. The outside draw is a big tick for him as he can scrape the paint down the grandstand side. Can jump on the bunny and prove very tough to run down. LOOKING BRIGHT (1) has dipped his past couple, but did jump favourite on both occasions and now finds himself in an easier grade. Wong's claim comes in handy and he was very close to winning in Class three just three and four starts ago. There's plenty to like about him. GRAND NOVA (5) missed in a photo finish over this trip at Happy Valley most recently. Bowman remains in the saddle and he draws out which helps. Can feature in the finish once again and will be hard to hold out. STORM MIRROR (10) trialled well coming in and may not have relished the wet deck on debut and didn't have any luck at all. Purton rides now, he'll be better for the debut run and an improved effort is on the cards.
