Verdict
Course specialist ALMATY EXPRESS turned in a below par effort here last week but he's still capable of getting his head in front in this company on his day. He gets the vote to reverse latest running with Invigilator and Rightcar and record his 18th win at Dunstall Park. Memphis Man slips another 4lb down the weights and the C&D winner will be taking advantage soon but Yungaburra remains out of sorts despite the handicapper giving him a chance. Royal Envoy could prove best of the remainder.
