Verdict

SMASHING ACTION (7) took a nice step forward second-up, chasing hard into the frame at Oakbank. He'll be fitter again and is drawn to get every favour. Looks to have found the right race. ALL SHOT (1) has been hitting the line strongly in both runs this prep and now gets a welcome drop in grade third-up. He's building momentum and is well placed to strike. LADY MEMPHIS (12) backs up quickly after a strong closing third at Port Lincoln. Fourth-up and drawn well, she's right in the mix. REAL VALENTIA (3) has plenty of miles in the legs and his best efforts measure up. The drop back to a shorter trip suits and he's worth keeping safe.
