Verdict

ARLO'S DREAM (1) finds the maiden win elusive but has returned in good order this campaign. Peaking now fourth-up, though might need some luck from the wide alley. HASTA LA WIZARD (4) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but tired to finish sixth at Strathalbyn. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. REGAL TIME (10) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fourth at Oakbank. Backs up quickly and is worth including in this suitable contest. HELL OF A GENT (5) was well below his best last time but had shown positive signs prior. Draws well and gets a key booking in Crowther. Can play a major role. VIVID REASONING (7) best of the rest.
