Verdict

PROUD BOX (7) led them up over this course and distance last time out and never gave anything else a chance, scoring by 3L in an all-the-way win. Can find the front again from a good draw today and Bentley sticks with him. Can bring up back-to-back wins. ACE (11) bolted in two back before a 1.5L defeat most recently when favourite at this track and trip. He's had a quiet trial since his latest effort and Chau remains in the saddle. Form out of his last start has worked out well and he can get back to winning ways. PRESTIGE RICKY (8) finished off nicely over the mile last time out and now drops back in trip. It's been a while between wins, but he rates highly on that recent performance and with a touch of luck, he can be in the finish yet again. VOYAGE BOSS (10) finished behind Proud Box last time out and has trialled nicely since that effort. Worth including.
