Verdict

Country Flyer who failed to cope with Perth last time out is expected to take advantage of a decent handicap mark to score from Red Tyrant and Happy days. The selection has been running well over fences and if he relishes the return to smaller obstacles can win if acting on the course. Red Tyrant has been running fairly well of late and the handicapper has relieved him of a few pounds lately. The ground is a slight concern but if he copes with it he should have every chance. Happy Days has some useful recent form and this step up in trip could be what he needs. However he is fairly inconsistent and could not be backed at a short price.
