Verdict

DEMETRIOUS (3) is a lot stronger this prep for his new trainer Anthony Barton and franked a good run for second in his penultimate start with a comfortable maiden win here last week. He has a fair bit of upside for this area and can go right on with the job. BUSTERS FREE (6) needed his first start for a new local trainer and will be a lot sharper for this assignment. He has had a couple of gear changes since then and is expected to improve quickly. Each way. FAVAIOS (4) capped off some strong form with an easy maiden win over 1100m here 2 weeks ago. He cops wide gate this time but is good enough to overcome that and figure in the finish again. ROYAL ACCOLADE (1) put together a brace of wins to open his season and then was runner-up after leading last time out just over 4 weeks ago. He has improved a lot this time in work and is a winning threat again. Stick with him. MARYBEE (8) is another who has appreciated country-class racing and another honest effort is on the cards.
