Verdict

GOLDEN PROPHET (5) ran fifth last time out over 1880m at Devonport Synthetic, beaten by less than 3 lengths. He is up in class, but boasts a strong record here with two wins and two placings from four starts. He drops 4kg, and from a good gate, he will be hard to hold out. DON'T GIVE UP (7) went forward and proved too strong last start, winning by more than a length over 2000m at this track. He’s stepping up in class but drops in weight, and he will be hard to peg back. MILES 'N' MILES (10) bounced back to form last start with a comfortable win as the favourite over 2100m here 2 weeks ago. He is also rising in class, but he is capable of featuring in the finish again. ZULU ANGEL (3) has missed the frame in his last two, including an eighth over 1650m at Devonport Synthetic last time out 9 days ago. He has a better record on this circuit and will relish the extra 370m. Stick with him. THE SPIRIT OF ZERO (6) is normally thereabouts, and he is worth including as a value runner.

Going well and rates highly.

Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track Bm60 December 14 over 2100m in soft going defeating Captain Morgan with 58.5kg at $4.60. The run before that second last in a small field at Launceston Bm68 on November 26 over 2100m, 5.5 len behind Night Invader with 55.5kg at $4.80. Will prove tough to stave off.
