Verdict

SECRET AGENT MAN (1) certainly looks the horse to beat after scoring last start by 3.5 metres at this track over 1 ?m. Talented and has plenty of upside. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meeting a deeper field this time but he good enough to play a major role. FOXING EASTON (5) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 1 ¹¹/16m at Gore Raceway, beaten 0.8 metres. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. JUSTAWEESIP (6) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5.5 metres at Gore Raceway over 1 ?m. SEMBA (4) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1 ½m at Mt Harding two runs ago.
