Verdict

KEAYANG KEVIN (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 8 metres, in a nice return to form at Hobart over 5 ?f. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat once more. WATCH IT HAPPEN (3) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last six starts including a third most recently at this track over 1 m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field so he can play a significant role. HAY MIKI (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1 ?m. ALBERIO (8) is open to further improvement at his third run back from a break after scoring last time out over 5 ?f at Hobart.
