Verdict

CORK HARBOUR (4) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time in time, finishing just over a length from a smart winner in second. Strips rock-hard fit and only needs to hold his form to be winning on the quick back-up. HOT STRUT (5) is also on the quick turnaround after a good effort first-up in town. With improvement anticipated she looms a massive danger. FREE BEER (3) returns and will be looking to emulate his win at Morphettville Parks at the beginning of last prep. Is unbeaten over this course and distance from two starts and has been readied with two handy hitouts. Sure to be competitive. COMIC HERO (2) never stopped coming last start at Ballarat when resuming. Will appreciate the added trip and draws to settle closer. In the mix.
