Verdict

An open race to end the evening. AURORA PATCH (4) has gone under narrowly his past couple at this track and trip, beaten 0.8L as a $3.10 chance most recently. Bowman will need some luck from the draw, but he is on the cusp of another victory and rates highly on his recent form. TARGET AUDIENCE (11) comes here off a big win over this track and trip first-up, scoring by 0.5L with an all-the-way win. He drops 20lbs today and the inside draw should see him on the speed throughout. Ticks plenty of boxes and with his upside, he can play a major role. VICTORY SKY (2) is hard to knock on recent form, winning last time out over this course and distance as the race favourite, beating Aurora Patch in the process. Yuen's claim comes in handy, dropping him right down in weight and he'll be well positioned from the barrier. ROMANTIC SON (1) hasn't been far away recently and can put his best foot forward once again.
