Verdict
Another competitive affair in which many can be given chances on there best form but the TEAMtalk selection is Polar Haze.The gelding from the Sally Hall yard was a fair third behind Henry Tun in a better race last time out, and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Flying Faisal is well in on his best form but he has shown very little of late however this is a step down in grade and it would be no surprise if he bounced back to form. Spinetail Rufous is also worthy of consideration, he is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and he is well weighted on his second behind Quito a couple of runs ago. Speedfit Free could also go close he won well over course and distance a couple of runs ago, before disappointing over a longer trip last time. Just Ern is also worth a look in the market he is taking a drop in class and is from a very shrewd yard. Magic Eagle has been out of form of late but he to is taking a drop in grade.
