Verdict

JOHNNY BE GOOD (5) produced a powerful finish from well back to grab second over 7f here last time. He looks suited by the step up in trip and should be charging home late. He can have the last say again. SEPHIA (8) had the run to suit when scoring a big win over 1 ¹/16m here last time out as the favourite on a heavy track. She stays in the same class, and an extra 4lbs should not stop her from going close to repeating the dose. LIMOSA (9) followed up her gritty win in a modest field at Mt Gambier with another bold effort to finish runner-up behind the second pick in the same race here 18 days ago. Stick with her. KINGSFORD (3) has been well below his best in two runs since a spell, including his last start when suffering a cardiac arrhythmia. He is worth another chance.
