Verdict

SAVSONIC (2) couldn't match motors with an impressive winner in town on Saturday but still fought hard to hold onto fourth after racing on pace. Turns around quickly and drops back to a track and trip she relishes. Gets an important 7lbs claim and is sure to be right there when they quicken. AITCH D'AMICO (5) has proven very tricky to catch for punters but boasts peaks that stack right up in this company. Expect him to drift back from the wide draw and be looking to swoop on them late. Needs a genuine tempo. ZAIN PRINCE (3) has got things right back on track in his last two and can keep the ball rolling. Expect him to press forward and give a sight. ENCIPHERING (4) got too far back last time at Murray Bridge but his two runs prior were strong. Gets in well with the 9lbs claimer engaged. and will appreciate the added trip. Don't dismiss easily. JACKSON RUN (9) was much better third-up and is among the chances with fresh legs.
