Verdict

DARCI LANE (2) has made a bright start to his career and is still improving. Suspect he will relish the mile, though he will need a smart steer from a tricky gate. ROBERT THE PUSS (3) was doing his best work late last start to grab second over a similar trip at Mt Gambier. If they can better utilise the low draw this time he's a big chance. GOODLOOKIN' GURU (6) was too good for a maiden field last start over 7f at Murray Bridge, scoring by a head. Re-unites with Hammond who was on board last start. No reason she can't go on with it now. YOROKOBI (5) has switched yards since scoring dominantly at Mackay over 1 ?m on July 17. Expect this to be a bit tougher but he warrants respect.
