Verdict

MORDECAI (3) ran a strong race last time out over 1 ¼m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run against this line-up. CASH ARTIST (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1 ¼m here. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. BIKER (2) comes back in class after finishing 12 lengths away in ninth over 1 ½m at Eagle Farm three weeks ago when he was always well back. This is much easier and can play a big role in the finish. FLYBALL (7) has been thereabouts of late and may earn some minor money.
