Verdict

GUSTY WAY (6) didn't threaten fresh but the race was a strong form reference. Improved sharply second-up when a barnstorming winner at Mt Gambier. Strips fitter third-up and is drawn cosy. Gets a great chance to make it two on the bounce. NARALINGA (2) has mixed his form since resuming but did in one of his better runs last start when beaten a neck as favourite at Mt Gambier. If he can hold his form this time he will prove hard to beat. TESTING ONE TWO (4) got home well first-up to earn a minor cheque and is sure to have come on from that. Has been kept with a month between runs and has saluted second-up before. Right in this. IMPENDING DIAMOND (8) is on the quick turnaround after disappointing as favourite last start. If the pace is genuine she can cause a late scare. EXALTED KATE (7) returns and looks best of the rest.
