Verdict

IMPENDING DIAMOND (3) looks the one to beat on recent form. Fifth at Morphettville two back then seventh at Sandown last time. Unbeaten here in two tries and back in this grade looks tough to beat. PRODIGAL LAD (2) is the big watch. Was a big winner fresh then pulled up lame when last in town last time. Forgive that and looks right in this. KUSHAN KHANIVALE (6) has been thereabouts without winning but drops in weight, gets Holder and drawn far better this time. Won't find a better chance to find the frame. SPANDEX (4) is a former NSW galloper who has placed 2/4 fresh and best figures stack up so watch closely. JUST LIKE LISA (7) goes well here and can give a sight.
