Verdict

PLAYING QUEST (1) never got into the race last start but his form prior stacks right up. Happy to overlook his most recent effort as this should suit him better and he jumped in the market there. Expecting him to turn his form around and bounce back to his best. LEADING TADDY (2) steps out to 7f again today where he is a winner in the past, missing out as the race favourite here most recently. He'll need a touch of luck from the draw, but his best form is good enough to knock this over. CROWS (8) settled well back last start and never threatened when 12th over 7f at Roebourne. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WING IT (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when ninth over 7f at Roebourne. Solid top-three prospect KIA ORA TATOU (6) won't be far away.
