Verdict

BLUE ISLES (4) has been ticking along well in tougher company, finishing fourth at Morphettville Parks two back then placed in a Class 1 at Murray Bridge latest. Gets her chance here. ENCIPHERING (1) made a nice return at the provincials when fourth, racing on speed. Fitter and can give a sight here over the extra ground. UNWIND (7) finished fourth last time out over 7f at Murray Bridge, beaten 7 lengths. Strong top-three chance. SO GRAND (9) is better than recent runs at the provincials and will enjoy this level. Can improve. AUSSIE PHAROAH (3) is better than the last start suggests. Narrowly beaten fresh and can atone in this easier company.
