Verdict

RELEASE LE MISSILE (5) wound up strongly in the run home to register an impressive win over 1m in a 60 at this track. Had been knocking on the door and can win again with weight relief and Wiggins staying aboard. OUR TURN NOW (4) peaks and was only beaten 2.5 lengths last time out over 6f at Rockhampton eight days ago. Has won 2/3 this track and distance and should relish the longer journey. Gets Butler for Wiggins and is sure to prove tough to beat. MOKTAFFY (2) is proving frustrating for connections. Recorded another place when he made up considerable ground in the run home last start over 7f at Rockhampton. Gets another chance. PRINCE AKEEM (6) turned in a nice run beaten a half-length here over 7f. Extra journey is a plus now and he will be around the mark.
