Verdict

A good contest. THE KILL CLUB (1) resumes and brings sharp form from stronger races. Has placed 2/3 fresh and won her only start this trip. Races forward and is likely to come back further improved. KAMEZALI (4) resumes and has switched to Taige Weir from the Ciaron Maher yard. She has also raced well in better grade and has jumped out in good style 2x at Ballarat. A bold return is on the cards. SHOUT ME (2) was fresh from a break when beaten 0.7 lengths into second over 4 ½f at Mt Gambier. The extra journey should play into his hands. Likely to push forward and has each-way claims. CAPITALEX (3) comes out of the same race and wasn't far away. Will be fitter and has the blinkers on for the first time, as well as a tongue tie. Has pieces of form that would see him in the finish, and we should see more from the South Australian.
