Verdict

TORRITA (13) failed to deliver as favourite at Murray Bridge, but her two runs prior read far better than that effort suggests. The decision to press on rather than tip her out indicates the stable is treating it as a forgivable miss. ORLOVA (14) also let supporters down last start when well backed, but she's now fourth-up, cherry-ripe, and more than capable of snapping back to her best. ALI FOREMAN (1) was a flashing light late last time at Murray Bridge in a much better performance. Rock-hard fit now and must be some hope if he can take slightly closer order. CORNERBACK (5) has built nicely into this and keeps Holder. Isn't without his chance.
