Verdict

PORT LOUIS (1) has been racing in stronger and just missed in a 68 at Mt Gambier last time. Carries more weight but this is winnable with average luck in the run. MANCHEGO (2) drops back to a sprint but expect him to manage. He'd threatened twice over a mile before the latest and Kersley is a positive jockey engagement. SMART RETURN (8) peaks and is knocking on the door. tackled a 66 at Penola last time and he should appreciate the longer sprint. Can feature with average luck. BLACK CHERRY (6) won fresh and was in season last time. Has a cruel gate but her best would see her very competitive.
