Verdict

Plenty with a chance. SARA'S ROCKET (6) has had two starts this preparation following a switch from a NSW yard. Didn't handle the track conditions at Terang last time and steps up in journey today. Impressed winning a Post Macquarie Maiden over 7 ½f before the spell, when third-up. That form would have her right in the finish. KARASMATIC (2) is third-up for a top barn and should be ready to show his best. Will find this easier than Pakenham last time, and he won his Maiden over this distance. Has the outside barrier, but keeps Stackhouse. ANCHO (1) impressed winning an Albury Maiden over 5 ?f first-up and then got a long way back over 7f at Wagga. Didn't lie down but was never a winning hope. Has an inside gate and a 3lbs claim, and his form is strong over this distance. Fitter again and has to be considered. WAMBEEN (7) switches back from a middle distance, and that should suit. His form over this journey, the two prior, reads well.
