Verdict

SUNNY ROAD (5) did a great job to score by 11 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. G MOTION (7) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1 ¼m at this track. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. BLACK BELT (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1 ¼m at this track five weeks ago after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PEPPER X (3) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
