Verdict

ALWAYS BE CHAPS (5) hasn't raced since he was down the track at Menangle eight weeks ago but has been kept up to the mark with two trials, winning the latest. Led to win over this distance two back, taking his strike rate at this circuit to 50 per cent. This suits. HEZA DOOZIE (1) is a progressive gelding who made it two from two this time in when he worked from a wide barrier and dug deep to salute here last start, getting home by a head. No excuses from the inside draw and should be peaking. ERROL FIN (2) draws lower than when he missed narrowly last week and scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance last month. Contender. SPIRIT KING (4) wasn't far away last week and recorded three successive placings here last month. Respect.
