Verdict

VINTELL (8) gets the nod. He ran a good race on debut at Mornington and has since switched to the Ben Brisbourne yard off a short spell. That effort should hold up nicely and he'll get every hope kicking up from an inside gate. OTTALAUS (4) resumes. He just battled in two runs last time in but they were in stronger maidens than this and he looks to have jumped out very well having shown some ability on debut prior. Tricky draw but should push on and give a sight. DON'T SAY NO MIKKI (2) resumes. First up last campaign he was narrowly beaten at Horsham and he's won a jumpout leading in. Look for him late. PRINCE PRESTIGIOUS (5) is a gelding by Prince Of Caviar for the Dabernig yard who can run well while SOCIAL PAGES (13) was well in contention on debut and could improve quickly.
