Verdict

Nice race but tricky with many of the chances fresh from spell. One of those is STREETCAR FURY (3) who last appeared when a fast-finishing second over 4 ½f at Murray Bridge in May. Good fresh performer who bolted in at the first run of the last campaign. Going great guns at the jump-outs and looks poised to make another successful return. MURPH (6) is back after an 18-week break. Raced exclusively in metro company last prep and although without a placing was competitive on most occasions. Usually needs a run to hit form but at this level he is a definite contender. GUSTY WAY (5) got the job done in convincing fashion over 5 ?f at Penola recently. Has a good record here and is rock hard fit so must come under consideration. NARALINGA (2) has three wins and a second from his last five runs, all under big weights. Goes well here and from a good draw makes plenty of appeal. ARTISSI (9) resumed in good order behind Gusty Way last time out and is open to plenty of improvement.
