Verdict

MANHATTAN STRIP (13) jumped right in the market in the Grandstand Cup last time out at Pinjarra and that form may have been franked by now. He drops in weight today and maps for a beautiful run under Brad Parnham. He's better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to winning form. HARBIN (10) just missed when storming home from near the back at Pinjarra last time out and looks to be back in form. Hasn't won for a little while, but he's nicely placed here and he'll be making his run right down the outside. ATLANTIS BEACH (8) beat home Harbin last time out but does meet him a little worse at the weights. He can tend to dip second-up, but he was very good fresh and he mightn't have to be too far back this time around. Can repeat the dose. NOTEWORTHY (11) will get back in the run but can finish off strongly if he runs up to his recent form. HESKET (1) was very impressive winning last start and can go on with the job.
