Verdict

FARAKTA (8) resumes. She had a fruitful first campaign, winning her maiden at start two and ending up running in a pair of Listed races in Adelaide. She didn't quite measure up to those but should be an improver this time in and finds a nice race to kick off in. TAPO (1) doesn't win out of turn but is going quite well. Ran a 2-length fifth at this track last start and will give herself every chance up on speed here. In the mix. ICED POPPY (2) missed by less than a length here last time and should be thereabouts again. XTRAMAGIC (10) turned things around more recently, beaten a nose when second over 5f at Murray Bridge. Can feature.
