Verdict
#6 Conrad Patch faces a competitive Class 4, but he is trending the right way and his latest third behind Island Buddy came after he did not get the cleanest of runs. The debut second to Hot Delight looks an even stronger guide now, and it reads as the formline to follow. #11 Alabama Song backs up quickly after running third to Smart Golf last week, and that sits well alongside his fast-finishing ninth behind Island Buddy in the same race as Conrad Patch. #4 Happy Shooter has put it together since finishing second to Elite Golf two runs ago, then breaking through for his first win last time. A good trial between runs suggests there is more to come. #3 Island Buddy chases a hat-trick since joining the Brett Crawford stable and he is clearly thriving. The query today is that the race pressure looks likely to be stronger.
