Verdict

BLACKJACK (1) has been racing well, filling a top-four position at his last four starts including a third most recently at Reefton when starting wide on the track. Had this starting position when runner-up prior. Deserves a win and this could be his chance. FLYAWAY (2) finished third last start at Reefton after finding winning from at the previous appearance at Patterson Park. Should land in a good spot from this starting position. Can play a significant role. ULTIMATE COUNSEL (8) had to work last start but recorded back-to-back placings prior. Chance with better luck. BAUTISTA (10) has won here before and is a player with his A-game.
