Verdict

Several win chances, several making up the numbers. THE ICE CUTTER (6) got back fresh at the provincials, hooked wide and launched late before just failing to rein in the winner. Nice return and looks tough to stop again. PRODIGAL LAD (1) ran below expectations last time at Strathalbyn, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths starting at $3.90. Has the talent to figure prominently. Can atone. EXONUMIA (2) finished second at Port Augusta two runs back then was not far away over 7 ?f at Naracoorte after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JUST LIKE LISA (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 28 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Naracoorte over 5 ½f after being handy for much of the way. Overdue and looks hard to beat on her best form. LUNARSHOT (5) will be winding up late.
