Verdict

MALLETIER (9) flew home over 6f last start when on the quick turnaround and now steps out to 7f for the first time. He's jumped favourite at his last three starts but drops in weight here with the claim of Nottle. Draws the inside now and if he can stretch his form, he'll be hard to fend off. SIXINCH HEELS (14) is third-up here following a 2.3L defeat over 6f last start. She's a track and trip winner in the past and she'll carry no weight with the claim of Cooper on board. Hasn't won for a while but looks ready to strike third-up. POND MASTER (10) went back to 6f last start and couldn't feature, with his run here two back much better. This shapes favourably back out to 7f and he can put his best foot forward. OUR PALADIN AL (4) is a handy type who comes here on the fresh side. Wouldn't surprise to see him feature. BATTLE COMMANDER (2) has trialled well coming into this and won't be far away.
