Verdict

VINCENTIUS MAXIMUS (9) was solid when fourth in a higher-graded race last week and owns a decent record at this circuit and distance. Drawn to enjoy a nice run and if he gets the gaps he looks up to winning this. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (5) has been racing well of late. Placed for the third time in his last five appearances at this venue when he finished third last week, beaten 4 metres. Capable of another big performance. RACING PAULA (2) is aided by a low draw and can be competitive with her A-game. LOUIE DADA (4) produced a respectable fourth at his most recent appearance here and has a good strike rate at this longer distance.
