Verdict

Big field but MISSISSIPPI DREAM (9) looks well placed to be in the finish. Hasn't been beaten far last three when fighting on bravely. Drawn for a good run and looks a top chance to get off the mark. SMOKIN REELS (4) caught the eye on debut then was sent out favourite last time and was never comfortable, later reported to have sugared a hoof injury. Definitely worth another chance on the narrow loss here on debut. ESSAY WINE (16) made debit over the sharper trip at Cairns and was beaten for speed but really motored home late. Straight up in distance and expected to be much improved for this. STREAMELOT (12) is a former Victorian having first try in this area for the new yard. Has ability but will need luck from the wide draw.
