Verdict

JOHNNY WHO (9) turned in a much better run last start when he scored by half a metre over 1 ?m at Alexandra Park. This should be an easier assignment so he is set to continue his resurgent form. MANCHESTER IN TIME (8) failed to flatter last time out when fifth, beaten 21 metres, over 1 ¼m at this track. Meets some strong opposition this time but he has the ability to test this field. KOKO KABOOM (6) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.1 metres here over 1 ¼m. Hard to knock winning form. JACCKA BAYLIS (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this circuit over 1 ¼m. One for the multiples.
