Verdict

Terrific race and a host of decent chances. CANNY BE BETTER (3) looks to be the most consistent galloper in this field and is bursting to win another race. Raced home to miss by 0.5 len in the latest showing at this track and can go one better today. UNIVERSAL HARMONY (5) was a bit off last time, but prior form was very solid and he can bounce right back here. FORTRESS AUSTRALIA (2) resumes and is no stranger to restarting with a bang. Must be respected fresh. BIOGRAPHER (1) is another resuming, and lands in a winnable looking race today so keep very safe. TOW THE LINE (6) looks a place chance.
