Verdict

WALLIS (2) is in a purple patch of form having won his last two starts, the latest at this venue when getting home by 2 metres. Switches to a standing start but placed in his last attempt at it. Can strike again. RUBYS DREAM (8) was fourth when resuming then made good progress at her latest appearance when runner-up at this circuit, coming from this mark to be beaten a head. Strikes at 50 per cent at this distance, winning the only time she attempted it here. Proven third-up so can peak and go one better. HEZA GUN (7) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, coming from this handicap to beaten 2 metres into third at this venue. CHAMPAGNE CHARLEY (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance from this mark at Wedderburn.
