Verdict

LUDINA (6) sets the standard after resuming with a narrow second at Murray Bridge, beaten a head by Grand Millesime after travelling well, covering ground and finishing strongly. Her previous run was in Class 1 company over 1 ¼m, so returning to a Mdn with that fresh run under her gives her the clearest winning profile. BOOMA BAY (1) is the main danger after a better fourth at Gawler, where he was in the right spot but could not quite finish it off, he has placed at around 1m and looks close enough if he sustains his run. FABULOUS ONE (5) comes off a beaten-favourite fourth at Mildura and now faces harder company, but she is lightly raced and has been edging forward this campaign. Include. TASSORO (4) has the inside draw and blinkers come off, though he was safely held behind Ludina at Murray Bridge last time and has to answer the 1m question. Worth consideration.
