Verdict

BUNKER BUSTER (9) was a most impressive winner last time out over 6 ½f at this track, putting 3 lengths on his nearest rival. Nice weight drop this time around. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. FAST MAN (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 6f, beaten one length. Extra trip a plus, one of the main contenders. OASIS YOUNG (2) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 4 lengths over 6 ½f at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. WORLD FIGHTER MAN (7) went forward over 6 ½f at this track last time but found one better. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with three placings to his name. Not to be discounted.
