Verdict

YING MOON (3) opened his career in Victoria and ran his best race third-up in his first start racing in this direction for the first time at Hawkesbury just over 2 weeks ago. He slots into the pole position, and with Nash picking up the ride, we put him on top of this field. LANDING GEAR (4) finished less than a length from the winner in second on debut over 6 ½f, and then was looking for more ground when sixth over the same trip last time out. The extra 1 ¼f is the key here, so stick with him. MARKOS PORT (2) drops back from 1 ?m after just battling over that trip late last time out. He is edging closer to a maiden win, and can get the job done this time. Follow your money. ARANTU (7) caught the eye with a late finish for fourth on debut, and this late-maturing 4YO mare will relish the step up in distance. Keep her safe in all combos. AIDA (5) resumed with a strong late finish for fourth at Rosehill a month ago, and if she can settle over 7 ¾f, then she is worth including.
