Verdict

Terrific staying contest. LIKE A TIGER (1) will be out front and the one to run down. Flying lately including a last start win here in a BM74 and will take catching again. HARLEY'N'ROSE (11) circled before the turn and briefly hit the front but peaked and was run over late here last time behind Retourne. Expected to feature again. ROYAL MILE (3) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1 ³/16m at Morphettville Parks. Is nicely placed and expected to go well off the low draw. HIGH SOCIETY GIRL (7) just missed behind Retourne last time and can turn the tables. Placed 2/3 course and distance.
