Verdict

LONSTAR (5) hit the line strongly from well back to finish second over 5f at Echuca last time out as the favourite. He will rise slightly in class here, but the 7lbs weight drop will be a big help, so follow your money. NICEREINE (1) has been extremely consistent this prep with 3 straight minor placings, including a strong second at Morphettville Parks over 5f 16 days ago in a tougher class. John Allen picking up the ride is a strong lead, and he can go one better in this. BECAUSEYOU'RE MINE (6) hasn't raced since finishing sixth at Donald in May when finishing sixth as the favourite. He resumes on his home course, and if the track conditions are not too bad, he can give this a shake. Check the market moves. COOL AS ICE (4) was in contention turning for home before fading into sixth at Bendigo after racing greenly under pressure in the run to the line. She is at her peak fitness now and can figure in the top 3. BIFROST (3) has been freshened up and is not without some claims.
