Verdict

ALABAMA MOONLIGHT (3) grows a leg for hoop Morrison who has two wins and four placings from just six steers. Was an impressive winner here at the latest effort and can go right on with the job now. DIVINE DIAMONDS (5) has placed around this circuit and gets in well at the weights with the 4lbs claim. Blinkers go on today and looks a genuine top-three candidate. READY TIGER (2) has only missed a drum once in four spins over this track and trip and will be at peak fitness for this. In the mix. REDLIGHTS ON (8) has a win around this circuit and draws ideally in gate one. One for the exotics players. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (7) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated.
