Verdict

Tricky affair over the 1 ?m. EAGLE ANGEL (1) has mixed his form of late, awful two back at Flemington when surely too bad to be true, better last time at this track over 1 ½m and giving every indication he'd handle the extra 3f. He's lightly raced on a quick backup which can see him elevate again. HANAFUBUKI (3) is a frustrating conveyance who is struggling to win, stuck on the 2 from 19. She often leaves herself with too much to do but should stay the trip well and prove hard to hold out again. HIGHLAND GLORY (8) is another with a poor winning record but she's going okay and is another that looks like she'll stay strongly. URBAN OUTLOOK (4) was well backed at Geelong when finding a slowly run affair. He was going well prior and can improve.
