Verdict

THINK TANK (6) finished full of running last start at Gawler to grab second. Will likely drift back again from the draw but with a touch of luck he should prove tough to hold out. BY THE BOOK (11) got things back on track with a strong chasing effort at Balaklava. Backs up quickly and gets her chance to break a long run of outs. BONA FIDE STAR (18) was much better last time when sticking on gamely into the placings in town. Has a horror draw to overcome but with even luck can feature in the finish. GREATESTOFEASE (9) bounced back to form last start when closing off strongly into the frame at Balaklava. On the short turnaround and could prove a handful if they can use the low draw. CARING LASS (8) backs up swiftly after going down narrowly at Murray Bridge. Another who can charge late and play a role.
