Verdict

RACK'EM UP (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in third over 1 ½m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. HOPE FOR LOVE (7) finished second at her last run just a couple of days ago over 1 ½m at this track, beaten 3 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Primary contender in this comparable race. ONE EYE BANDIT (8) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1 ½m at this track a couple of days ago. STUBING (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1 ½m at this track on January 9 after parked-out with 1 ?m to run.
