Verdict

FLOWING RICHES (2) earns top billing after resuming with a determined win at this venue, beating Zouper Fellow by a neck when near the top of betting. Draws out and rises in weight here, but the rise in trip appears a big tick for his chances and he can repeat the dose. ACE EAGLE (4) has only the one race run, but that debut second by a neck behind Packing Glory reads well, particularly with Zac Purton taking the ride from a favourable draw. SOLID CAR (3) is the in-form runner, having won over 7f as an odds-on favourite after a close third, and his four placings from four tries at this track and distance keep him firmly in the contest. KA YING RADIANCE (10) was beaten only half a length first-up as favourite and has placed twice from six attempts at this track and distance, so his recent form gives him a genuine chance if he converts another honest run into a win.

2	Resumed with a strong win at this track over 5f, leading and proving too good for Zouper Fellow by a neck while near the top of betting. The wider draw is the main hurdle, but he has placed at this track and distance, gets the winning rider back and has the benefit of a 2lbs claim. Drawn wide, but the form is current and he looks the one to beat. 1st Pick 2 Flowing Riches Jockey: Jerry Chau Trainer: W K Mo J: Jerry Chau T: W K Mo	128	-	-	-	8%	13/1

4	Returns from a lengthy spell after a debut second at this track, beaten a neck by Packing Glory when sent out favourite. That single run showed enough quality for this grade, and drawing barrier 3 with Zac Purton aboard is a significant positive. Purton from barrier 3 makes him a serious winning chance. 2nd Pick 4 Ace Eagle Jockey: Zac Purton Trainer: David Eustace J: Zac Purton T: David Eustace	109	-	-	-	40%	3/2

3	Comes in off a controlled win at this track over 7f, where he was sent out odds-on and beat Prestige Come by just over a length. He had already run third to Joyful Joy, beaten a length, so the consistency is clear. Back to 6f is the query, not the form. 3rd Pick 3 Solid Car Jockey: James Orman Trainer: David Hall J: James Orman T: David Hall	143	-	-	-	10%	10/1
Analysis Comes in off a controlled win at this track over 7f, where he was sent out odds-on and beat Prestige Come by just over a length. He had already run third to Joyful Joy, beaten a length, so the consistency is clear. Back to 6f is the query, not the form.
