Verdict

LOWER MANHATTAN (11) was successful at his most recent outing by 2.25 metres in a nice return to form at Port Pirie over 1m. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. ROCKNROLL LENNY (4) was returning from a break last start when he made up plenty of ground to finish second a week-and-a-half ago over 1 5/16m at this track. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly take this out. SHES MAGICAL (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1 ¹/16m here five-and-a-half weeks ago. Can bounce back from the low draw. ALWAYS ON SAFARI (10) is worth some thought based on his third over 1 5/16m at this venue two runs ago.
