Verdict

MEEPMEEP (10) improved last start when getting back onto the All Weather at this track and trip, running on to be 1.5L off the winner. He meets that rival better at the weights today and drawing away from the fence should suit him better. Can land the knockout blow this time. PHANTOM CYCLONE (13) comes through the same race where he was beaten 4.8L, though he did jump the $3.40 favourite off a break. His run here two back was very good in defeat and with the added fitness of his last run now under his belt, an improved effort is on the cards. GO GO GO (12) beat home the aforementioned gallopers last start when scoring by 1.5L in an all-the-way victory as a $15 chance. He's up in weight today, but it is hard to ignore the fashion in which he won. Can steal it from the front yet again. DIRIYA (2) gets Purton on the class drop today and an inside draw helps. Can see sharp improvement.
