Verdict

BRADMAN (2) showed his preference for this track when winning easily here over 7 ½f last time out. This field is no harder, and an extra 4lbs should not prevent him from going close to winning again. BENEFACTOR (5) showed his first sign of form this prep when finishing second to the top pick last time out. She is better off at the weights and can turn the tables here. CHASE (3) has needed both of her starts back from a spell, and he should now be ready to show some form on a track that he knows well. Each-way value. URENUI (4) fought on well and only peaked late, fresh up at Whanganui a fortnight ago, and he is usually much better second up from a spell. Stick with him on an each-way basis. BOOMTOWN BOY (7) is also nearing his peak fitness, so don't risk him. Include.
