Verdict

HEAVEN (2) put the writing on the wall when he finished second at his most recent outing in a nice return to form at Mt Harding. Came from wider there and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Gets his chance to strike. THE BEACH HOUSE (4) had a tough draw last start but was good when fourth prior. His lone career win came the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. Capable of playing a major role. CARRERA KAHU (1) resumes after 12 weeks. Draws well so looking for a good return. FLYAWAY (9) is in the mix with some luck from a wide barrier.
