Verdict

WHAT FOR (5) has found the going too tough in his last two attempts at Menangle but is better placed at this circuit having come from the back row for second here three back, beaten less than 2m. This is winnable. NOWORRIES (1) did a good job for second from a wider barrier at this circuit and distance last week. The ace draw sees him in contention again. DREAM TO DANCE (6) produced a decent effort when she came from a similar draw to this for fourth at Goulburn last week. Has been working towards a win for a while and finds a suitable assignment. Last-start placegetter THE MALDIVES (10) could feature again with some luck from the back row.
