Verdict

FORCE FULL (7) had been racing consistently before delivering a well-deserved win at Menangle last week, coming from this same draw to salute by 1.2 metres. Has won twice at this shorter distance, both times at this circuit. May prove tough to beat again. SAINT CRUSADER (4) has the hoof on the till after back-to-back placings here. Missed by just a nose two back before a third from this barrier last week. Could break through. QUADDIE VC (8) came from this barrier to score last start by close 2 metres at this circuit. Owns a good strike rate at this shorter distance so is in contention again as is LUKE JOHN (2) who is aided by a low draw.
