|---|---|---|---|---|

The race pace looks not that bad here in this Open Class event over 1200m. MIDNIGHT RUNNER (1) he is in superb form. Course proven. Gets his usual 3kg claim here too. Wet tracker for sure. Ticks boxes galore in this field even though he is a 9yo. STREET FIGHTIN MAN (5) is a dual winner here. Has been top three in his last five starts. Well drawn. Proven on dry and wet ground. Hard to see out of the finish in this field today. EPEE BEEL (6) is a multiple-class riser. Course proven. Drops 3kg. Definite chance here second up. THE GOOD SHEPHERD (3) is a course-proven runner. Trifecta and first four must in this field. MAKABAR (2) is a triple winner here. Cannot be omitted from any of your trifecta or first four combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Epee Beel is a win wager.
