Verdict

SIR PANAMA (1) doesn't win out of turn but is rarely too far away from the action. Drops back to a trip he relishes here and gets in well at the weights with the 7lbs claimer engaged. Big chance to land the winning blow this time. ROBERT THE PUSS (3) has mixed his form this prep but boasts strong peaks. Drawn sticky on the quick back-up but if he brings his A-game he will be in the finish. SACRED CHORD (11) hasn't won for a long time but does possess a handy turn of foot on his day. Watch for him running on. CANNY DEFENSE (2) got too far back from a wide draw last time at Echuca but had been offering more prior. Draws well and is one to keep safe in the placings.
