Verdict

COPPABELLA ROAD (3) was well in the betting over this course and distance last time out and didn't let supporters down with a solid victory. Winning rider Morrison sticks in the saddle and can go back-to-back without surprising. DRAGON TALES (2) has only missed a drum once in six spins around this circuit and will be high on confidence following that first-up win. Sure to be right there at the business end. GOLDEN OCTAVIAN (6) is a two-time winner around this circuit who gets the services of gun hoop Wiggins. Can feature in the finish. MELO MELO KAVA (7) strips fitter third-up from the break and rarely puts in a poor one. In the mix. THREEBROTHERS (4) next best from the favourable draw.
