Verdict

FORTUNATE SON (6) ran over the top to score very impressively as the favourite at this track and trip last time out. This is tougher, but he drops 11lbs today and draws inside for Guyon. The French hoop has options and if he can run up to his recent effort, he can repeat the dose. CORLEONE (5) couldn't make it a hat-trick last start when finding one better over this track and trip as the $2 favourite. Wong's claim comes in handy and he's likely to be on the speed from a good draw. Nice trial recently under his own steam and he can get back to winning ways without surprising. SUPER UNICORN (4) disappointed over this trip on the All Weather last start and comes back to his preferred course and trip. His runs here prior were superb and a return to that level would see him hard to hold out. ALLCASH (11) flew home last time out and can feature in the finish once again.
