Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine

Tricky race to sort. Nugget mixes its form but hasn’t seen this kind of depth for a while. Poison Chalice resumed with a big win and goes right in the mix. Uncle Bryn was a surprise winner last start beating hope Plenty Of Ammo and the latter had little luck in the run. Plenty of hopes in this wide open affair.

1. Uncle Bryn (1)

Surprise winner at big odds last start. May well go on with things and beat Plenty Of Ammo who is half the price in this.

2. Von Hauke (2)

Has a turn of foot but we haven’t seen it lately. Not hopeless.

3. Laws Of Indices (11)

Form from early in its Australian career is great for this. Returned to some form last start and is some hope at odds.

4. Nugget (6)

Class runner who has the runs on the board and best efforts are proven above this level. The market should have a decent say about its chances.

5. Light Infantry Man (3)

6. Suparazi (8)

7. Royal Champion (7)

8. Poison Chalice (9)

Huge win when returning and looks a massive chance in this. Looks to have returned even better and can measure up to this field.

9. Sirileo Miss (10)

Can’t have.

10. Rumbled Again (5)

Prefer others.

11. Plenty Of Ammo (4)

Should get a good run in transit from this draw and found Uncle Bryn too slick resuming but was held up at a crucial time. This does look a suitable race and the price tag looks right for this affair. Goes on top in a tricky race.
