Evergreen pacer MAX DELIGHT (11) got one back on champion rival Swayzee when scoring at this circuit last start, his first outing since a brave fifth in the Miracle Mile. Cops a wide draw but has the class edge on this field so can overcome the barrier to go back to back. MAJOR PERRY (7) is racing in good form having won from this barrier here two back before stepping up to this grade for second to a smart rival last time. Could pose a challenge. ROYAL CRUISER (5) drew on the back row last start but won twice in a row here prior so could bounce back to form. WHEREYABINBOPPIN (9) draws wide but is back in winning form having proved too good in the Goulburn Cup last start.

ONE BIG SHEW
RICKIE ALCHIN 7YO BROWN GELDING P G Hayes, M B James, D M Maffey Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 3.5 m by Major Major (1:53.10) in No NR on April 19 at $11. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Dom Toretto at this track over 2300m in a NR up to 95 on April 5 at $34. This looks a far sterner test. |

MAX DELIGHT
DAVID AIKEN 9YO BAY HORSE M J Maxfield Hard to fault of late. Last start won on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:40.80) beating Swayzee in No NR on April 5 at $6 at the bell was 2nd-3.29. Classy pacer who can overcome the wide draw to beat these. |
