Verdict

The penny has dropped for WEONA REDWOOD (2) who has put back-to-back wins together and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Winning hoop Maloney sticks in the saddle following that last-start victory and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Has the talent to produce another positive result. Former NSW galloper ROAD TO PARADISE (11) has been thereabouts in both runs since joining the new stable and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Sure to be prominent. LINAS REEL (3) is a consistent commodity who has hit the top-four at his past eight starts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Top-three candidate. GUARDED OPTIMIST (1) has gone bang-bang at the past couple and looks ready for the step-up in trip now. Include in calculations. DEMARCAY (6) best of the rest from the inside alley.
