Verdict

IDEN OLIVER (2) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by 5 metres over 1 ¼m at Hobart. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall again. IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (6) finished second last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 1 ?m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. TULLAH GIRL (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1 ?m at this track last time out. Worth an each-way ticket. KENYA (8) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1m at Hobart a week ago.
