Verdict

HEALTHANDHAPPINESS (5) looks the one to beat. Only a couple of lengths away on debut then runner-up at the latest here over 6f last time. Blinkers go on and has upside. Goes close. A TIME TO KILL (3) is also having his third race start and looks close to a win. Beaten in a photo over 6f at Murray Bridge last time when box seating and expected to go close again. MAJESTIC GLOW (9) was off a let-up back to a mile when safely held last time at Morphettville. Back further in trip but has ability and will wind up late. REGIMENTED (6) wasn't far away on debut and has upside. MANDARIN (7) was fourth here last time over a mile but has placed 2/3 this trip.
