Verdict

BEEN OUR ANGEL (1) showed grit last time when knuckling down to get the bob. Carries the big weight but keeps Pannell and draws favourably, so expect him to be in the fight for a long way again. MINTULEE (2) improved sharply second-up on the Parks surface, digging deep to score narrowly. Open to further improvement and a repeat effort has him right in the mix. BEAUTY BOUND (4) comes into calculations third-up, another who will relish strong early pace. Kept fresh with a month between runs and can burst through late. MERCURY EIGHT (6) is a reliable on-speed type who will again give himself every chance.
