Verdict

FLEETWOOD (6) is knocking on the door and gets a good chance to put it all together fourth-up under the light weight. With a tempo to suit, if Thompson pops into the clear he will prove hard to hold out. MOULIN MISS (11) is an obvious threat after keeping them all at bay here last time. Has been freshened with a month in between, kept up to the mark with a trial. Concedes a weight swing to a couple of these but is sure to give herself every chance again out in front. TOWN CRIER (5) brings a different profile after charging home to win here last time. Has proven versatile with his speed and gets his chance to make it two on the trot. POLYGLOT (4) is racing consistently, beat Fleetwood last time and draws to get every chance, though he has to confirm the 5f is as effective. ZOUBABY (8) shares the Moulin Miss formlines and comes through other strong races. Suspect she will settle back from the draw and be charging late.

6	Comes here with the strongest winning case after two solid recent placings, closing into third behind Polyglot at Doomben after doing some work from back in the field. He had chased home Moulin Miss in a Class 6 at this track on soft ground the start prior, beaten a length and a half, and now reaches a suitable fourth-up stage. Thompson's booking is a tick and he only needs to hold his form to be in the finish. 1st Pick 6 Fleetwood Jockey: Ben Thompson Trainer: Tony Gollan J: Ben Thompson T: Tony Gollan	166	-	-	-	15%

11	Led and kicked strongly to win a Class 6 at this track on soft ground last start, beating Fleetwood by a length and a half while near the top of betting. She was overrun late over 5 ½f at Doomben before that, so the return to 5f clearly suited. Strong track-and-trip record and Angela Jones add to the case. 2nd Pick 11 Moulin Miss Jockey: Angela Jones Trainer: Tony Gollan J: Angela Jones T: Tony Gollan	148	-	-	-	34%

5	Returns from a five-week freshening after charging home from well back to win at this track, beating Cifrado by just under a length when an outside chance in betting. That followed a luckless Doomben ninth where he was slow away and struck interference, so the improvement had substance. Strong 5f profile and prior excuses make him a serious danger. 3rd Pick 5 Town Crier Jockey: Jake Bayliss Trainer: Matthew Hoysted J: Jake Bayliss T: Matthew Hoysted	120	-	-	-	17%
