Verdict

GOODTIME MIKI (4) has been racing in stronger company of late and while he broke last time he produced some solid efforts prior including a second at Goulburn last month. He looks well placed at this level. HALLOWEEN (3) has been racing at Menangle and coming from wider barriers. Hasn't featured at his last couple of starts but recorded back-to-back seconds last month. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Big chance. BELLRIVERGIRL (2) draws much better than she did last time out and had recorded a string of placings prior. SPECIALIZE LOU (9) has been racing in the city of late but came from a wide barrier for second the last time he raced here.
