Verdict

SMACKERS (8) fought on strongly from midfield at huge odds in a quality field last start and useful placed form. Should break through soon. CRICKET (11) put in a big run after getting back 2nd last early and was very wide turn last start at Woodville. Has a 3rd and two 4ths from 3 runs at 1m. KATSU (7) resumed off two quiet trials with a sound 3rd after a handy trip from the low draw at Woodville. Wide draw to overcome this time. EDISON (4) is a 6yo on debut and has had 3 trials this prep for 2 placings and a win in his latest when stalked the leaders and burst through. Has claims. TICK TOCK TESSA (9) put in a solid effort last start when bounced well to trail the leader in a gap of 4L off as the speed was on and she kept coming, beaten less than 2L 3rd to Will at this trip last start. Solid chance again.
