Verdict

ALLCASH (13) is better than he showed last start over this course and distance 25 days ago when beaten 3.8L. Purton remains in the saddle today and he drops in weight following that effort. Jumped favourite there and this shapes similarly. Can bounce back to his best. SUPER UNICORN (7) won two in a row before a 2.3L defeat over this trip at Happy Valley. He's 0/2 on the All Weather, but his recent form is very strong and he's an adaptable type. Can bounce back to winning ways. ANOTHER WORLD (4) won narrowly here two back before a handy performance last time out, beaten 1.3L after sitting close to the speed. He maps for another lovely run in transit and with a slight drop in weight, he can make his presence felt once again. DRAGON AIR FORCE (5) draws better this time around and is right in this if he can produce his best.
