Verdict

MIND OVER MATTER (1) grows a leg for rider Cormack who has three wins from as many steers and didn't put a hoof wrong when last in work. Boasts a win when first-up before and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. NOTTINGTON PRINCE (3) has won over this track and trip, draws the inside alley and gets 4lbs off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes for a race like this. DRAGON TALES (2) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the strong win over this course and distance when resuming. Can bounce back. HOT COCOA (7) is lightly raced but has plenty of upside and may make her presence felt. GOLD CLASSIC (8) gets in well at the weights with the claim and may earn some minor money.
