Verdict

IRISH GOODBYE (3) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 7f at this track. Hard to find fault. Makes his own luck by rolling to the lead and dictating. Should be too good again. SOUSUI (1) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 7f at this track, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Likely to settle just off the speed despite the draw. Among the leading chances. LASER CANNON (8) is an imported four-year-old having his first run in this area for the Richard Lines barn. Finished off last campaign with ninth over 1 ¹/16m at Geelong five-and-a-half months ago. Should feature in the finish. VGOR (9) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 7f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Worth another chance.
