Verdict
DESERT MIST (2) was a last-start winner in a tougher field here nearly 2 weeks ago and is actually dropping in class for this. He has a good draw, and the extra 3kg to carry should not be enough to stop him from winning again. ESSKAY (3) is a stablemate of the top pick who was a bold runner-up at Alice Springs nearly 3 weeks ago. His record is not as strong on his home track, but he can upgrade that stat in a 5-horse field. I'M A DREAMER (4) is heading the right way with his form and was runner-up here last time out. He starts from a superior gate this time, and another honest effort is on the cards. WORLD AFFAIRS (5) has been thereabouts this year and will be suited by racing in a 5-horse field. Stick with him. MARVELOUS NIGHT (1) was run down after setting the pace here last time out and may be better when ridden with cover. He is worth another chance.
