Verdict

EASTERN BARRACKS (7) scored here last time out with half a length in reserve at the end of 7f. Has a good record at this track with two wins and three minor placings. S Bahauddin stays aboard. Leading contender. PACIFIC STAR (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 2.75 lengths when sixth in a 7 ½f contest at this track six days ago. Nicely placed to take this out. BANKER'S SUPER (2) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at this track over 7 ½f. Backmarker who gets home hard. Watch for a big run. ASTRO NASCENTE (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 8 lengths away in eighth over 7f at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
