Verdict

HEZDARNHOTTOO (4) returned with a strong run for third 2 back and then raced on speed at Flemington before fading late, after racing too keenly during the running over 5 ½f. JMac steps into the irons for his peak run, and he can take this out. GRAND PRAIRIE (3) was very good when resuming at Warwick Farm, finishing a nose back from the winner after travelling handy to the pace throughout. He put in some big efforts in good company during the spring, and he can go one better here. HAY STREET (9) broke through stylishly at Rosehill over 6f last start, and he drops 13lbs for this assignment. Stick with him. UNSTOPABULL (7) has been mixing his form, but from a handy gate, he is a top 4 chance in this een field. PIASTRI (1) needed his fresh run, and he can be a quick improver, so check the market moves.
