Verdict

NOT THE CHOPS (3) brings in the winning form. He scored by a good margin at Berrigan when running favourite. Is much better drawn this time as well so probably just wants a firm track to show his best. DEEBAA (4) had been going OK but then put two good runs back-to-back. She came from well back in both of them. May not be that far off them this time. MORE CASH (6) runs again quickly after a close-up effort at Gundagai. The longer race should suit well here. DASHING DONKEY (1) keeps getting beaten good margins but in harder races. DARE I SAY (8) goes up sharply in journey. Has significant gear changes as well.
