Verdict

REDBACK FLYER (6) was a good winner fresh before a 1.9L defeat last time out when sitting on the speed over the mile. He's a progressive type and he draws a little softer this time around. Can improve again now third-up into the campaign and he can get back to winning ways. CASHEL PALACE (3) won well two back before a 2.2L defeat over the 7f journey last time out. Out to the mile now and the Blinkers go on for the first time. Draws better now and she can make her presence felt. DENNIS CHOUX (7) stuck on well last start over 7 ½f and the slight rise in trip again today is ideal. Can lob just off the speed from a favourable alley and he boasts a good third-up record. Can put his best foot forward. DEAMBER (5) wasn't beaten far last week and has to be included on that effort. GINGER GREEN (4) is better than we saw last start and can bounce back off a freshen.
