Verdict

Low quality race and sticking with WHATSANAMEGEORGE (2) who put the writing on the wall down at Bordertown last time when runner-up. This looks ideal and a repeat would see him go close. KAILEE'S BOY (3) came through the same race and was well off best, pushing forward early but fading right out. Off a wide draw here but will take up the running and give a sight on best form. Does boast a strong record this course and distance. SHADOW HAWK (10) rates highly on best form and can bounce back. JACKSON RUN (7) finished sixth last start over 1 ½m at Mt Gambier Bm60 on July 12. On the very quick backup and can give this a shake.
