Verdict

DODD (6) finished midfield when resuming from a break last time out over 6f at Strathalbyn on a soft track when in the market. Has a solid second-up record so he is a leading contender. IT'S ONLY MAGIC (4) ran a better race and finished a long neck away in fourth last time out over 6f at Strathalbyn. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. LADY OF SAVOY (10) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win. Did a good job last start to finish second over 6f at Mt Gambier, beaten 1.1 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. IRISH BLISS (9) wasn't beaten far in fifth last start over 7f at Bendigo. Peaking now and is capable of featuring prominently. AIRCLASH (3) is mixing his form but has some claims on best efforts.
