Verdict

Genuine sprinter RIDEAU (5) is back from a six-week let-up. Last appeared when beaten a long neck in a similar race here as warm favourite. Has thrived since switching to this stable two runs back and can keep the ball rolling. NORTHUMBRIA (3) is in career-best form. Went straight to the lead and was never under threat last time out over this track and trip. Carries the same weight today after the claim and a repeat performance is not out of the question. BOOM BOOM RAY (7) has switched stables since a respectable fifth at Ipswich just ten days ago. Draws a nice gate and won't find this as tough so he is right in contention. RAETIHI (4) drops in grade today after a solid effort in a Class 6 over more ground here last start. Not badly treated after the allowance and in this company is a definite contender. TO LOVE SOMEBODY (10) was no match for Northumbria here last time but he is rarely far away in races like this so keep him safe.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Returns from a 43-day let-up. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track Bm65 on October 24 over 1100m, long-neck behind Dealing's Done with 60.5kg at $1.30. Before that favourite; won by 4 len at this track Bm60 September 27 over 1100m defeating No Love Lost with 61kg at $2.10. Rarely runs a bad race and looks tough to beat in this line-up.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 3 len at this track 0 - 65 November 21 over 1300m defeating No Love Lost with 60kg at $4.20. The run before that won by 1.75 len at Isisford Cl5-Sw October 25 over 1200m defeating Salt Lake Betty with 60.5kg at $1.80. Absolutely flying of late and is a leading player.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at this track Bm65 on October 24 over 1100m, 4 len behind Dealing's Done with 60kg at $12. Last start won by a neck at this track 0 - 65 November 11 over 1200m defeating No Love Lost with 60kg at $8. Fair to assume there is more to come so stick with him.

The start before that raced on the pace before fading 7th of 10 at Cairns Cl5 on November 16 over 1250m, 2.25 len behind Khabalov carrying 58kg at $14. One of the better chances.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track 0 - 65 on November 21 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Northumbria with 57kg at $21.
