Verdict

PERFECTLY GOOD (3) showed good early pace over 7f at this track last time and kept going to score. In a suitable race and can win again. DESERT OPAL (2) got home by a neck last time out over the mile here. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Can measure up again. HOT TODDY (1) took a 22 starts to get off the mark, then went ahead and made it two on the bounce on his home track. Is yet to be tested at this trip but his current form is hard to knock. ROONAMI (4) was a good winner two back at Narrandera. Less effective last start but was far from disgraced. Best form is good enough.
