A competitive conditions race. BOB VALDES (2) enjoys this venue with three wins and nine placings from twelve attempts. Enhanced a consistent record eleven days ago scoring by 0.5L a 1900m event here. Top chance. PHANTOM STRIKE (6) completed a double with a 1900m course success preceding a 0.5L second behind the top selection recently. Main danger once more. NINE TREES (5) placed both outings in 2026 managing a 1.75L third over 1200m at this track prior to a solid 2.75L third tackling 1600m here three weeks ago. In the mix again. Bidding for a hat-trick ALMIGHTY ESPRIT (1) scored last month at this circuit to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Not dismissed.
