Verdict

FAST HARRY (8) made it four in-a-row last start when rounding them up from the back, scoring by 0.2L over this course and distance as the favourite. He continues to raise the bar and this looks the logical progression for him. Likely to get back again from the draw but can finish over the top of them once more. AWESOME BOY (6) led them up over this track and trip in stronger grade just last week and was only caught late in the race. Fitter again now after coming in without a trial and the inside draw can see him up on the speed once again. Up in weight as he drops in grade today, but he'll be very hard to mow down. THEHORSEMAN (3) disappointed when in the market for the Batavia Sprint last start after some strong performances previously. He wasn't far away in this grade two back and has to be included on that effort. DUG ANOTHER HOLE (4) can sit handy to the speed first-up and put his best foot forward. SIR DREAMALOT (5) has to be included following a good win last time out.
