Verdict

Onto the Horsham Cup and THE PENDRAGON (1) looks best placed off a very good run in the Gold Nugget at Ballarat last start, beaten three lengths in a stronger race. He hasn't won in a while but looks primed for the rise in trip now and gets a beautiful run on speed. AFTERMATH (4) wasn't far away in the Hamilton Cup last time out and turns around quickly from that. Doesn't win out of turn but has the peaks to challenge. MIRACLE SPIN (2) is coming off a win in the Manangatang Cup with a huge impost of 139lbs. Going well of late and should be right there again. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS (9) is coming off a solid win in BM66 company and wouldn't shock down in the weights. RAF ATTACK (5) next best up in trip.
