Verdict

FLYING STRAZ (6) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 5f at Warracknabeal. That followed a similar good run first up, so should be at peak fitness now and can go one better. ROCKCLIFF (2) has lost his way a touch the past couple, but they followed two great runs to start the prep which, significantly, were here, so getting back to this track looks in his favour. EL SALTO (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 5f at Tatura, beaten 4 lengths into seventh. This looks a more suitable assignment. RAGING MONKEY (5) is a light of better days but was only a length off Flying Straz three back, so he warrants consideration.
