Harmony N Blessed and Lucky Eight will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. KING OF FIGHTERS (5) sat up on the speed and disappointed last start when favourite at this track and trip but his form prior was very good. Zac Purton hops in the saddle now for the first time and he's up got plenty of upside. Drawn well again and can notch up his maiden victory. LUCKY EIGHT (4) has been freshened since since his 0.5L defeat most recently and has trialled nicely since that effort. Needs a touch of luck from the barrier but his ratings are good enough to put himself right in the finish. POWER KOEPP (6) won well two back before a 1L defeat here just 7 days ago. Drawn well again for Badel and if he handles the back-up, he'll got close once again. SUGAR SUGAR (1) is racing well without winning and draws a little better today. Worth including.
