Verdict

CHILL PARTNERS (3) earns top billing after two strong runs this campaign, following a third beaten just over a length with a second at this track when beaten just under a length by Shannon Glow. He is proven at this track and distance and his latest effort reads as the most reliable recent form among the main hopes. HOT AIR BALLON (10) is the clear danger after going under by a neck to Star Satyr last start, having also been close enough first-up when fifth, beaten a length and a half. He is still a maiden, but his two runs back have him ready to win. NOT USUAL DOUBLE (7) has been competitive in both starts, was near the top of betting when fifth last time and now has Zac Purton aboard, which keeps him firmly in calculations. PEGASUS ELITE (8) improved sharply from debut to finish fourth behind Shannon Glow, beaten two lengths, and gets useful weight relief from that run, so further natural improvement makes him a genuine winning player.
