Verdict

SKELMORLIE (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1m at Hobart, beaten 2.75 lengths after she worked home in good style. Placed 3/6 here and capable of sharp improvement. ALPINE BLAST (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 5 lengths when eighth in a 6 ¾f contest at this track two weeks ago. Strong record course and distance and is expected to be in the finish. SIMPLY DEEP (3) wound up strongly to score last time and can keep the ball rolling. SCARLETTI (2) goes well course and distance and is among the chances today.

5	Racing well recently. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start 4th of 7 at Launceston Cl4 Sw on April 17 over 1m, 3.5 len behind Georgaroni carrying 126lbs at $14. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily, won by a head at Launceston Cl2 April 3 over 1m defeating Bayside carrying 125lbs at $11. This easier and looks a great chancer to atone. 1st Pick 5 Who Can It Be Now Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Rowan Hamer J: Non Runner T: Rowan Hamer	149	-	-	-	1%	Scratched
