Verdict

ALL ROUND WINNER (1) got the job done by 1L last start when running on from midfield as the race favourite. He rates highly on that effort and Bentley sticks with this race looking to shape similarly. Ticks plenty of boxes and he can repeat the dose. SHOTGUN (14) led and won well two back before a 0.3L defeat most recently over 6f. He steps back out to 7f again today for just the second time and he carries no weight. Can make his presence felt. AEROVOLANIC (4) missed by 1L last start in a good bounce back from a below par effort two back. Purton remains in the saddle and he has enough tactical speed to offset the wide draw. Can play a leading role. SMART FAT CAT (11) is better than we've seen his past couple and this presents as a good opportunity to improve.
