Verdict

NIKOLAI RAY (2) ran fourth last start at this track over 1 ³/16m, beaten 11 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. CRUNCHY GRANOLA (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 1 ³/16m. Expected to run well. DELIGHTFUL GALLEON (7) produced a good effort on debut last start, finishing third over 1 ³/16m at this track. Has plenty of scope for improvement. TOMOGALAK (1) is ready to improve after debuting with a respectable sixth last time out over 1 ³/16m at this track.
