Verdict

RUNNERS HIGH (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back in Listed grade at this track with a win as favourite over 6f at this track five weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MAGIC ELEVEN (8) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a head over 6 ½f at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. RONALD DUCK (6) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 0.8 lengths to spare over 6f at this track. One of the main contenders. AIR CITY (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1m at this track, beaten 30 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
