Verdict

DARCYS FIREBALL (3) backs up after he performed well in a strong line-up on Saturday, beaten 5.7m into third in the Redcliffe Trotting Cup. Switches to the mobile start but placed under those conditions here last month. Can win this with his A-game. KODA DA MODA (5) has ground to make on on Darcys Fireball through the Redcliffe Cup but her effort for fifth was sound. Recorded a string of wins or placings prior. Big chance. NELLIE JOY (4) found the Redcliffe Cup too tough on Saturday but this suits much better. Came from this barrier to finish runner-up in this grade here prior. Has winning claims. PIZZA PRINCE (2) was solid when fourth from this barrier last start. Recorded back-to-back runner-up results here earlier in the campaign. Can be in the finish.
