Verdict

ADACHI (2) turned in a good performance last time over 5 ¾f at this track, finishing one length from the winner in second. Boasts three wins at this distance. Ready to win and worth following up. SKY LAND (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in third over 1m at Hobart. Comes back in grade and expected to take catching. STARDARMUS (5) made late ground and finished 1.2 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 6 ¾f at this track, an improvement on his eighth at Hobart the run before. Close to the winner last time and drawn for a soft run. HARTMAN (1) showed good early dash before weakening badly over 7f at Launceston last time out. Just missed in a good race the start prior and will take catching on best. WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (3) found the line well last time and is worth including.
