Verdict

BONNARD (9) has been the find so far this winter, and he bounced straight back into winning form when unleashing a quick finish from off the pace to score impressively by over 2 lengths at Waverley a fortnight ago. He is still perfectly placed down in the weights, and he can continue on his winning way here. MR MOJO RISIN' (3) is racing well and even though he has copped a nasty gate here, he can still work his way forward early on. He handles any type of track conditions, and he has to be respected again. PRIORESS (8) has taken her form to another level this prep, and she has won here in the past. She needs it wet to show her best, but in her current space, she has top 4 claims again. JOSHUA BROWN (5) should have no fitness concerns fifth up from a spell, and he will appreciate getting right down in the weights here. A wide gate makes it tricky, but he is capable of figuring in the top 4. BELARDO BOY (2) is at his best on wet ground over this trip, so don't underestimate him.
