Verdict

CRUISE TO RIO (2) hasn't been far away in her past couple, beaten 1L when jumping the race favourite last start at this track and trip. It's been a while since she's won, but she rates highly on her recent efforts and the inside barrier looks a big tick for her. Can sit handy and end her winning drought. LADY COCO (6) was too good at Mt Barker last start when sitting on the speed and proving too strong over 5 ½f. She was a winner at this track and trip three back as the favourite and this looks to set up similarly to that. Trending the right way and appears the main danger. BRAVE APACHE (3) sat on the speed but tired late to finish 1.2L off the winner at Mt Barker. Out in trip is the query, but he maps for a kind run and can be in this for a long way. OUTLAW MUSIC (7) led and won by 1L at this track and trip 25 days ago beating Cruise To Rio. He can repeat the dose. EL FOXIE (5) can bounce back to form.
