Verdict

BERRY BLAST (7) is inching toward another win, missing in a photo finish last start over 6 ½f at Northam last week. She jumped favourite there and her maiden win came when third-up last campaign. Showed her class last start and despite drawing out again, she can go one better this time around. RUBENS' CEILING (1) disappointed fresh and has been back to the trials since that effort where he looked back on song. He should find a good position from the barrier and coming back to an easier race this time is a big tick. Still has good upside and can't be left out of calculations. LEETRON (2) was too good last start at 7f here. That form has already been franked and it may have been again today. Back out in trip is no issue and he can repeat the dose. DOMINANT FORCE (11) can go one better this time around after a good effort here last time. BACK TO BONDI (5) is better than he showed fresh and can improve quickly.
