Verdict

HASTA LA OINKERS (5) gets the nod after a sharp first-up third at Naracoorte, where he was beaten just under a length and travelled like a runner ready to win. Campbell Rawiller's booking and Sue Murphy stable form at this track add to a strong winning case. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. QUEEN OF THE TOP (12) is the immediate danger after lifting into third at Mortlake on soft ground, and her Hamilton fourth two back reads as useful Mdn experience despite the new 7 ¾f task. Include. COIL (8) has more upside than most after being held up near the 1f on debut at Echuca. Further improvement is anticipated. FULLHEADOFSTEAM (4) will find this a little easier than his third just 10 days ago over 1m at Morphettville. Draws in close and shapes as a major threat.

5	Resumed with a strong Naracoorte third, beaten just under a length by Shujinko after travelling well behind the leaders. That was a far better pointer for this than his earlier Class 1 run over 1 ¼m at Mt Gambier on heavy ground, and he has placed three times from four rides with Campbell Rawiller. Trip record is the query, but he has the best winning case. 1st Pick 5 Hasta La Oinkers Jockey: Campbell Rawiller Trainer: Sue Murphy J: Campbell Rawiller T: Sue Murphy	137	-	-	-	34%

12	Improved nicely third-up when third at Mortlake on soft ground, beaten a length and a half after letting down well and making the placings with ease. Her Hamilton fourth in Mdn grade two back had merit from big odds after a slow beginning, and she has already placed on wet ground. New 7 ¾f test is there, but she is a leading danger. 2nd Pick 12 Queen Of The Top Jockey: Will Price Trainer: Henry Dwyer J: Will Price T: Henry Dwyer	115	-	-	-	42%

8	Had excuses on debut at Echuca, racing keenly and being held up approaching the 1f before finishing ninth, beaten six and a half lengths on soft ground. She was a $57,500 yearling purchase and had trialled several times before racing, so there is scope for natural improvement second-up. New trip is a query, but there is enough upside to rate highly. 3rd Pick 8 Coil Jockey: Shayleigh Ingelse Trainer: Paul Preusker J: Shayleigh Ingelse T: Paul Preusker	97	-	-	-	6%
