Verdict

OLDTOWN (3) stormed over the top to get the job done first-up over 6f, getting his nose down on the line. He's since trialled solidly up at Conghua and he looks to have plenty of scope for improvement. Out to 7f now is a big tick and he can build on the fresh performance. BLING BLING GENIUS (14) is another lightly raced commodity, flashing home last start to be 0.5L off the winner at this track and trip. He's been kept up to the mark with a trial since that run 34 days ago and Bentley remains in the saddle following that trial. Down in the weights and can make his presence felt. AEROVOLANIC (1) is just ticking along at the moment, finishing 4.8L off the winner last start over 6f. The rise in trip looks ideal now as he stretches for the first time and he gets J-Mac in the saddle. Can see him improving sharply. THE GOLDEN KNIGHT (9) flew home fresh and that's turned out to be a strong form race. He can't be discounted.
