Verdict

DECLARED (2) hasn't done much wrong this prep and gets another great chance to put his best foot forward. He had to make his run in inferior going last time, so easy to forgive. He gets in well again with the 7lbs claim and draws a dream. Leading player. ZANTHRON (3) is building nicely and should be near his top now third up. He'll hunt the front and be hard to reel in, even more so if he sneaks a few cheapies mid-race. ALAA PLENTY (10) doesn't need to improve much to be fighting out the finish and the switch to Neindorf is a plus. DOBBINAIR (11) has savaged the line in both runs back and will relish a strong tempo. Watch for him bursting through. OMAHA DAWN (15) impressed fresh and should be better suited out to this trip. Worth following up.
