Verdict

They bring form from far and wide for this one. SA visitor DAZELLES (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.25 lengths away in third over 6f at Strathalbyn. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THE MARINER (13) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 6f at Casterton, which followed a win at Port Augusta that appears to have turned his form around. COSMIC CHARGER (1) should be at peak fitness now after three runs back from a spell and they have been in tougher races than what he meets here, so don't be shocked if he bobs up. OWL WITNESS (2) generally needs BM52s to be a winning chance but can pull out a run in this grade and warrants consideration for the exotics.
