Verdict

BLIGHTYS HOPE (3) jumped quickly to the mile and couldn't finish it off at Doomben. Finds easy and gets a gear tweak. This doesn't look overly strong and fitter it won't surprise to see him right in it. PARISIENNE PIPER (5) resumed here and needed the outing. He's placed 3/4 at the track and 2/2 over this distance. Quick improvement is on the cards. STILL UNWANTED (7) comes back in trip and will find this easier than Doomben. he's been going okay prior and likes to run along. Has a low gate and should be involved in the finish. EVADE THE GAME (2) will be fitter and the mile suits. Needed it first up and has been kept on the fresh side. IRISH ACCOLADE (11) has switched from a NSW yard on a 47-day return. Has a handy gate and the blinkers on again. He has pieces of form that would give him hope and is worth a look at a price.
