Verdict

Quite a lot of dead wood in this event so previous course and distance winner BALKINSTOWN is the call with improvement expected on this faster surface. Top wieght Shadarpour would have wiped the floor with this lot a few years ago but hasn't been running well for some time. This is an easier task though. Howlongisafoot is the other who could be expected to get involved in the action, while Welcome Polly deserves a glance, if only for the fact that she hails from a top yard.
