Race context
Race preview
PERFECTLY GOOD (3) showed good early pace over 1400m at this track last time and kept going to score. In a suitable race and can win again. DESERT OPAL (2) got home by a neck last time out over the mile here. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Can measure up again. HOT TODDY (1) took a 22 starts to get off the mark, then went ahead and made it two on the bounce on his home track. Is yet to be tested at this trip but his current form is hard to knock. MANZOBEEL (7) was sent forward from the wide draw and kept finding in front to hold on and score by a head here last month. Drawn much kinder this time and gets in light with the 4kg claimer going on, who looks to have some ability. Not taking lightly.
