Verdict

On to our feature of the day with some good milers for the Gold Nugget. Siding with AL DUCA (2) who was effectively first up at Caulfield over 7f off a let-up and just battled after racing very wide throughout. His form over this trip reads well and he gets the golden switch to barrier one. PRINCE ERIC (13) won well from the back at Caulfield two back before an even effort last time. Off a let-up and back to a mile looks okay. TEN COMMANDMENTS (6) continues to race very well. Likely finds a fast deck here which is a query but he's hard to ignore. CRAIG (3) is capable of better than he has shown of late, including a last start seventh at Caulfield. Fitter third-up and could improve into a place.
