Verdict

WHERE'S MY LUNCH (3) rattled home from the back of the pack first-up to miss narrowly at Mt Barker. That laid the foundations and his second-up record is very good. Fitter and further are both ticks for this, he has good tactical speed and he can return to winning ways. PRAY AGAIN (2) hasn't won for a while but did finish strongly over this track and trip last time out. He draws inside again today which can see him closer to the speed. If he can run up to his latest effort here, he'll be right in the finish. SIR BEAR A LOT (9) flew home to score quite comfortably over the mile here last start after settling back in the run. Third-up now and he boasts a strong third-up record. Ticks a few boxes and can repeat the dose without surprising. CRYSTALIST (6) just missed last start at Mt Barker and jumps right up in trip today. Creates interest. SKY GOD (12) gets the blinkers on first time today back to Country level and is not to be discounted.
