Verdict

MIND BATTLEFIELD (7) finished second last start over 5f at Dubbo, beaten only a nose. In the right race this time and is a winning hope with the 3lbs claim. THE BEAST (4) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Draws favourably and can feature while fresh. UNIONISTA (10) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep very safe. SUTTON STORM (3) gets the reliable Northam/Buckley combination and is capable of a strong showing despite the sticky draw.
