Verdict

SUIT OF WANDS (3) led all the way to win 2 starts back and then stepped up in class to finish runner-up in a stronger field than this off a wide gate 11 days ago. He might rise 10lbs for this, but he should still be the one to beat. CHANCE TAKEN (10) did not have all the favours as the favourite at Murray Bridge last time out and ran on well enough to finish sixth over 1 ?m. He has won over this trip of 1 ?m, and is good enough to take this out, so follow your money. EAGLELOU (6) did not run on at all last start in a tougher field, and he is much better placed in this. He has not missed a cheque in 3 starts here over the distance, including a win, and is expected to bounce back into the money here. GEETEE FORTY (12) has been thereabouts this prep, and on a wet track he is certainly worth including in all top 4 combos. TEE EIGHT (9) got home nicely for second last week at Murray Bridge, and a repeat of that run will have him in the top 3 again here.
