Verdict

SUMMERTIME MADNESS (5) was good fresh here over 5 ¼f then run off his legs back to 4 ½f last time at Murray Bridge. Fitter and although first try at 6f looking like he needs it now and will be tough to stop. EXTRA CHILL (7) might want a little further but has a bit of most rivals. Showed good ability placing 2/3 in first campaign and after a trial should go close in this line-up. STRONG MINDED (4) was four lengths from the winner in richer company fresh off a very long break. Will be much fitter and can improve sharply. REGAL TIME (10) has pace and the inside draw so will give a sight. ILLUSTRATES (8) is well down in the weights and will wind up late.
