Verdict

NIGHT PEOPLE (4) has not quite finished his races races off this prep, and he stretches out to a mile here. He has options from the pole position, gets a couple of subtle gear changes, and is ready to put his best hoof forward in this. Troy Baker keeping the ride is a good lead, and he is worth each-way consideration. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (6) was a beaten favourite here 12 days ago, and looked to labour under 130lbs. She drops 10lbs this time, and is normally very consistent, so we allow her another chance. NIGHT INVADER (3) makes her course debut after finishing second by a neck fresh up at Launceston just over 2 weeks ago. She has won twice over 1m, and from a good draw, she is set to add to that record. ISLAND WARRIOR (2) finished fourth in the same race as the third pick when resuming, and that was her first start in over a year. She strips fitter, and will be a sharp improver. Each way. THE SPIRIT OF ZERO (5) beat 3 other last time out, and he has top 4 claims in this.
