Verdict

HARMONY JOEY (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 7 ½f at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five runs. Top chance again. MUSH BRIGHT (7) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 7 ½f at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Terrific chance to return to the winners' list. SUNRISE TESORO (3) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 7 ½f at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. MARUNO ANNA (4) gave a sight here last time, leading until late before finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths over 7 ½f. Sure to give a sight.
