Verdict

STOKOMO (1) boasts the strongest formlines and looks very well placed back to this level. Shoulders a handy record over this journey, he just needs to carry the big weight. CAUSEWELUVADELAIDE (4) was a big improver third-up when making very light work of a CL1 to get off the mark. This is obviously a bit tougher with the rise in grade but he has more to offer. TOFINO (6) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking the door and strips rock-hard fit. There's good form around him, as he drops back in trip of the short turnaround. Opperman can make his first sit aboard a winning one. HOLDER MAID (3) scored with a bit in hand last time, after just missing the start prior. This is tough but she's going well and is drawn to be very competitive.
