Verdict

OH NO NEVER AGAIN (2) turned in a poor effort by his standards last start when 15 metres away in seventh over 1 ¼m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. SMOOTH DEAL (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a nose from the winner in second over 1 5/16m at Burnie. Won't find this any harder and he can take care of this line-up. TALK IS CHEAP (5) disappointed last time when 11th over 1 m at Launceston. Can make amends. STAROFREMEMBRANCE (8) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 1m at this track two runs back.
