Verdict

WUDDZZ (2) loves getting his toe into it and will be hoping the rain comes. Was a barnstorming winner here two back over the same trip when finishing over the top of Harsh. Couldn't justify market expectation last start at Flemington but wasn't far off his peak rating. This is easier and he can strike again. HARSH (4) has established herself as one of the more progressive stayers of the SA ranks this prep and finds another nice race. Meets Wuddzz 1.5kgs better this time which is enough to turn the tables if she holds her form. ROMANS LUCK (3) got things back on track in a big way last start when taking out the Port Augusta Cup. This is obviously tougher but expect him to push forward again and give a bold sight. MIRACLE SPIN (1) dug deep to get the verdict last week on the Parks track. Backs up quickly and suspect he won't be bothered by the further rise in trip. THE TRUE BELIEVER (6) has been strong through the line in his last two and deserves each-way consideration.
