Verdict

ROSEBUD LASS (6) is progressing well including back to back wins this course and distance. Freshened for this and looks a top chance to bring up the winning hat-trick. GRINZINGER BISHOP (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1m at Tennant Creek. Well placed and gets his chance to break through. ALPINE FLYER (1) is resuming from a break of six-and-a-half months for a new stable after finishing fifth over 6 ¼f at Morphettville Parks at her latest outing. Goes well when fresh with three wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Leading prospect. ZESTIMAN (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 6f. Has his share of ability. Yet to win here but long overdue and looks a leading chance. GRINZINGER LASS (5) rates highly and can make amends.
