Verdict

MIDNIGHT PIRATE (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.75 metres from the winner in second over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Has the talent to take this out. CAPTAIN BARNATO (3) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when second at his latest appearance over 1 ¼m at Port Pirie, beaten a neck. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ROCKNROLL SPIRIT (7) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1 ¼m at Gawler last time out. Each-way. ROYAL WATCH (5) last appeared when fifth over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park four-and-a-half months ago. Must be respected.
