Verdict

UPTOWN MONK (3) has found the line nicely in both of his starts back from a spell, and he looks to be a lot stronger this season after not quite living up to expectations last time in work. Getting out to 7f is the key, and if this trip is not already too short for him, he can have the last say. NO MANS LAND (1) looks to be getting back to his earlier good form, and this lightly tried 5YO gelding is on target to figure in the top 3 again. ROYAL SCRIPTURE (5) has had 4 starts back from a spell in tougher fields than this, and he is crying out for some firmer surfaces. A wide gate is no help, but at this level, he can get into the money at some each-way value. PERCIDIAN (6) caught the eye with a solid late finish for third at Morphettville-Parks just over 3 weeks ago. He slips down in class, and despite a wide draw, he is still worth including in all combos. PRODIGAL LAD (4) has been racing over shorter trips than 7f, and a form reversal is on the cards.
