Verdict

EM SIXTY (5) is knocking on the door with three minor placings this time in, stepping up to 7 ½f at Ballarat when last seen, beaten half a length. Likely to get back from a wide draw but will be hard to hold out. KINGSFORD (6) has been in the market in two Australian runs to date, a little bit disappointing at Ballarat last time. He needs a race with strong tempo to finish off. ALPINE COWGIRL (11) was poor last time dropping back in trip but had been coming along well prior and stepping back up to a mile will suit. BLAZING SWORD (2) is going well an each way chance.
