Verdict

FLYING DREAMS (9) tailed-off last start at Phar Lap Raceway but had a legitimate excuse. Ready to atone for that in this. Stick with him on top. WANNA PLAY A GAME (13) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when finishing an unlucky third over 1 ¼m at Phar Lap Raceway. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Big chance based on recent form. RIDGE (4) should be at her peak for this. Finished fourth over 1 ¼m at Phar Lap Raceway at the latest appearance a week ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. JORDAN ANNE (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at Phar Lap Raceway over 1 ¼m. She is always a top 4 chance.
