Verdict

AL PRANCER (5) is a consistent 4yo who has been in fine form this time in, winning 2/3 including a tough victory here last time out in fast time. He drops slightly in grade for this hence the rise in weight and rates highly again. REGAL TYCOON (7) is another in flying form this time in, winning 2/4 and just missing in the others. He proved too strong on speed for a handy one at Geelong last time and should get all the map favours again. MATAWAI (3) resumes. She goes very well fresh and has run good races in better company than this. If she runs to her best she'll be right there. ILLUMINANCE (12) can mix her form but has ability on her day and is in the mix.
