Verdict

TASSORO (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 6f at Gawler after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MYSTRIX (10) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 7f at Balaklava after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. REAL WORLD (5) ran a better race and finished fifth last time out over 6 ¼f at Morphettville Parks. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. ERAJA (1) is yet to break through but is knocking on the door and has enough early toe to offset the wide alley. Could prove tough to reel in if left alone in front. MON PAPILLON (6) is going okay and is worth keeping safe in the exotics.
