Verdict

BELUGA (6) is racing well with three nice efforts off a spell including back-to-back placings, last week coming from this barrier for third at this venue. Goes up to a distance where he owns a decent record and he should be hitting his peak now. Looks ready to win. FOXING EASTON (8) was solid when fifth from the back row at his most recent appearance and placed in the previous two outings. Draws wide so may need a touch of luck but he is ticking along well. STILL ROCKIN (7) has won fresh before so look for a good return while MR CASH MAN (4) has claims off a close second from a wider barrier two back.
