Verdict

FROM THE BLOCK (4) led all the way and bolted in two back over this distance at Morphettville then ran well again last time but found a couple better when dropping back to 5 ½f. Has earned the big weight and he looks the testing material upon his return to 6f. TIPTOP TORI (5) is a quality mare back from an 18-week spell. The highlight of last prep was a barnstorming win in the Listed Adelaide Guineas over the mile. Collected her maiden first-up last time in work over this distance so a big run while fresh over the sprint course is not unprecedented. SIR MYKA (8) had a five-week let-up and showed a glimpse of form last start when beaten just over two lengths over 5 ½f at Morphettville. Can build on that performance with the blinkers back on today. RICHE D'AMOUR (9) flashed home to grab third over 5 ½f at Morphettville last time. Loves racing here so must be respected. THREE RINGS (11) has won two from three here at 6f - can improve on a modest first-up effort.
