Verdict

LONGER ROUTE (1) wasn't far away in city grade last start, finishing a close fourth at Morphettville Parks. On the quick back-up, he looks ready to peak and should relish the extra ground. Shapes as the one to beat. BACK ME UP BENNY (9) has struck form and gets in well at the weights. From a kind draw he can settle closer, and with his sharp turn of foot he'll be hard to hold out. BOLT BY (2) caused a boilover last time, scoring over 1 ?m at Morphettville. He boasts a solid record at this trip and is expected to run well again. THINKINGNINTYNINE (10) was brave leading throughout last start at Morphettville Parks, holding on strongly. This isn't much tougher, and he could repeat the dose.
