Verdict

Both Mr Moondance and Touch Of Gold command much respect despite steadily climbing up the weights. The former was an impressive winner over C&D in May and that form looks strong with the runner up successful since, but he does have an 8lb higher mark to contend with. The four-year-old filly Touch Of Gold might ideally need further but she's been in fine fettle lately and deserves to get her head in front at some stage soon. However, a chance is taken on OMEGA SPRINGS. He promises to be competitive from his current mark (won from 2lb lower at Gowran in September) and gave notice that he was on the way back when finishing strongly (fourth) on his most recent outing.
  1. Omega Springs
  2. Mr Moondance
  3. Touch Of Gold
