Verdict

FOREVER FOLKS (4) disappointed last time out on the turf course here but bolted in two back over 1 ?m on this surface. DBM hops on board now and he maps nicely from a good gate. Can bounce back to winning ways getting back onto his preferred surface. HAPPY UNIVERSE (7) draws a much better barrier this time around and can put himself much closer to the speed than his recent efforts. He's racing in top order lately and the chance to sit closer today is a big push for his chances. Right on the cusp and this presents as a winning chance. CALIFORNIA STAR (5) landed midfield and ran over the top to score impressively last time out. He's since trialled well and Purton remains in the saddle. The draw is a little tricky, but with some luck he's a big chance to go back-to-back. FIREFOOT (13) wasn't beaten far behind California Star last time out and can be in the finish once again.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Fast

A dry dirt track that is typically an ideal racing surface.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
