Verdict

CRISTIANO BUCCINI (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.5 metres from the winner in third over 1 ¼m at this track. She can lead early and won't be far away. On top. THE ELITE ATHLETE (5) was racing with great purpose before the latest appearance when he finished 6 metres away in third over 1 ¼m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. CALL SECURITY (9) is next in line and although he has to contend with an awkward gate a win is not out of the question. WHITFIELD (2) has a good draw and is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1 ¼m at this track.
