Verdict

MAPOGO (6) couldn't hold on when leading over this track and trip fresh but did jump a $1.80 chance there. He's bolted in at the trials since and now gets the tongue tie on for the first time. Has the speed to work across to the grandstand rail and he'll be tough to hold out. MASTER PAYMENT (7) has trialled well in readiness for his debut and draws nicely out wide for the straight course. Avdulla has partnered him at the trials and he hops on board for his race debut. Can make an immediate impact. RUN RUN SUNRISE (1) won well two back before a 0.5L defeat most recently when in the second half of the field. He can be a touch closer today from a wider alley and he still has plenty of upside. Can continue his strong run of form. PERFECT TRIUMPH (10) surprised at big odds last start when not far away at the finish. Moreira and Fownes combine again and he can prove last start wasn't a fluke.
