Verdict

ADKI (9) resumed two weeks ago over 5f at Echuca and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the turn. Strips fitter now and is nicely placed to feature in the finish. RAVEN'S SILVER (3) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 5f at this track at the start of last prep. Has ability and should run a big race while fresh. DENSTESU (5) has been right there at the past five outings and only needs some luck from the wide draw to be playing a major role in the finish. I'M AIRBORNE (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 5.5 lengths away in ninth over 5 ½f at Wodonga. Rock-hard fit now and no surprise to see a spike in form.
