Verdict

OLYMPIC PARK (7) has shown glimpses of his best form after a long layoff, getting back to winning ways last start in impressive fashion. The inside draw is a big tick this time as he steps out to a more suitable trip and he can continue to improve with racing. He creates plenty of excitement. AUTO CRUISE (8) couldn't get past Olympic Park last start when off a freshen, finishing nicely to be 0.9L away. She'll be better for that effort and CJP remains in the irons. Wouldn't surprise to see her go one better this time around. OUR MATE ARCHIE (10) comes through an easier race, but he put them to the sword there in impressive fashion. He ran a strong rating in the process and the wet deck will suit. Parnham sticks and he can give some cheek. SIMPLY THINKIN' (5) is racing well and won't be far away despite the wide draw. SNIPPY WHICH (1) can't be left out of calculations with the form he brings into this.
