Track: GOOD 3   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Small field but a good tempo is expected with Pop The Moet, Spirit Man and Luckee Floran pressing on. LUCKEE FLORAN (2) made it back-to-back wins in dominant fashion, sitting on the speed and running away to win by 2.9L. The form out of that has been solid and he maps to get every chance once again from the inside barrier. Can land in front again and is the one to beat. SPIRIT MAN (3) is on the quick turnaround following a 1.7L defeat at Dongara on Saturday. He rates well on recent efforts and has shown he handles the back up in recent efforts. Drawn nicely and can be in the finish. SOUTHERN SCANDAL (7) ran over the top to score by a length over 1100m here last time out. He was off a 51-day break there as he moved stables and it seems to have done the trick. Can go on with the job now. CLEVER COMBAT (4) is better than he showed last start and will appreciate dropping right back in trip. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luckee Floran can win again.
