Verdict

NARALINGA (2) is a lightly raced six-year-old in great form, winning two of the last three and loving heavy ground. Hard to fault and goes close, especially if it's a slog. LADY MEMPHIS (12) resumed nine days ago over 5f at Murray Bridge and was only beaten 0.8 lengths into fifth. Has a very strong second-up record. Faces an easier assignment so she can make amends despite the tricky gate. SKYTALKER (5) comes here off a break of six months. Scored over 6f at Bunbury to launch the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal. SATAY CHICKEN (1) was a fresh-up winner then sixth at Naracoorte last time. Gets a chance to atone.
