Verdict

KALMANA (2) showed his trademark early speed fresh and dug in when challenged, picking back up late to hold second. He's sure to have tightened right up with that run and gets in light with the 7lbs claim. Great chance to go one better. RAMASIS (1) has come to hand quickly and the form around him keeps stacking up. He's still improving, so there's no reason he can't win again. ONE MORE SONG (4) was far too bad to be true fresh but is open to sharp improvement, gets weight relief, and the Milnes booking is a positive. SCOOTATHEWOOTA (7) was no match for Ramasis on debut in February but has taken steps forward in his last two. Still learning and likely to appreciate the rise in trip. BOOLCUNDA DAWN (5) made very light work of her maiden when leading throughout and should bounce straight to the front again from the inside draw, though she won't get it as easily this time.

1	Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite, came from midfield and won by a long-neck at Morphettville Parks Cg&E 0-64 March 14 over 7f defeating Scandalize with 128lbs at $3.10. The start before that favourite, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily, won by 0.7 len at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn-Sw February 28 over 6 ¼f in soft going defeating Sicilian Princess with 126lbs at $2.10. Is a progressive gelding on his way through. 2nd Pick 1 Ramasis Jockey: Will Price Trainer: Travis Doudle J: Will Price T: Travis Doudle	202	-	-	-	36%
