Verdict

VOSTOKOVA (8) backs up nine days after racing on the speed and finishing a close second at Murwillumbah. Peaking now and will be sharpened by the blinkers. Expect Mallyon to utilise the low draw and have his mount poised when they quicken. ANDROS (1) finds the maiden win elusive but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Has run well here without winning and doesn't need to improve much to be in the finish once more. THE RAIN KING (4) only warmed to his task late on debut. Better for the run and can improve sharply. ARABIAN LEGACY (2) is struggling to breakthrough but comes into place consideration following the a key scratching.
