Verdict

FIGHTING FLOYD (1) is a veteran galloper who continues to race well. Winner this grade two back then finished only two lengths away latest. Has a great record over this course and distance and could be over the odds. JUST A NEEDS (3) was beaten 2.5 lengths in open class last time. The start prior ran on hard to score this grade. Right in the mix on recent form. KAKIA (4) is fitter for two runs back, finishing fourth at each. FLYING BILLIE (2) wasn't far away last time after racing on speed, finishing sixth as favourite. Freshened and expected to take catching. SKY LAND (6) is racing well and will give a sight with the light weight.
