Verdict

LUNA ANGEL (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring dominantly over 7 ¼f at Queanbeyan. Will take advantage of the good draw. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. HELLBERG (7) also pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by half a length over this trip at Corowa. Drawn to go forward again. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ONEFORIAN (15) returns. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from three starts, the latest over 6f at Queanbeyan at the start of last prep. Can make his presence felt while fresh. ASTUNNER (5) was much better last start and reunites with gun hoop in Boudvillain who scored aboard the gelding earlier in the prep. Don't take lightlly.
