Verdict

HEAD'EM (5) dropped back in trip last start and ended up midfield, beaten 2.4L. His form prior was much better and getting back to this trip can see him bounce back to his best. Fiore remains in the saddle and he makes plenty of appeal. HENRY THE AVIATOR (9) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and drops a stack of weight coming here. Riordan's claim gets him in very light at the weights and he possesses good early speed. Hasn't won for a while, but ticks a few boxes and can put his best foot forward. CRUISE TO RIO (8) got a long way back last time out but closed nicely at this track and trip. Nottle now hops on board and he can take closer order this time around. Can make an impression. KEEP ATTACKING (1) comes here on the fresh side after closing to be 2.2L away at Esperance 67 days ago. Won't be far away. FLYING SOUTH (7) is better than he showed last time out and can feature.
