Verdict

SO D'ORO (11) failed in town last start when eased down in the G3 Adrian Knox, but her maiden win at Hawkesbury the run prior oozed class. Happy to forgive back to this grade and expecting a sharp bounce back. TAYTAY BAY (5) is knocking on the door after looming up to win at Albury before just peaking late. Backs up quickly and is right in the mix. HELLS SPIRIT (12) found it too sharp last time but was a strong winner over this trip two back at Albury in what has turned into a solid form race. Back to 1 ¼m suits, though tactics from the draw will be interesting. JUSTIFIABLY (7) should be at his top now and has worked himself into good form with two strong recent efforts over this trip. DOC MARCH (9) hit the line nicely into the placings last start at Wodonga over a similar journey. If he can settle a pair or two closer, he can threaten.
