Verdict

LUCRATIVE EIGHT (3) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory, missing by 1.3L at this track and trip most recently. He draws the inside today and should be prominent from the outset with Zac Purton booked. This looks a golden opportunity to shed the maiden tag. ISLAND BUDDY (1) stuck on well over this track and trip last start, finishing 2.5L off the winner. Teetan hops on board now and he's won 2/4 when partnering the 5YO rates highly on his recent efforts and can make his presence felt again. LEADING DRAGON (5) bounced back in a big way last start when scoring by 1.3L over this track and trip. He's had a quiet trial since and he can lead again today which seems to be when he performs his best. Can repeat the dose without surprising. NEXT FORTUNE (8) was much better last start and he can build on that performance.
