Verdict

TRANTORO (10) looks to have the map edge over many of her key rivals. Hasn't been as effective in her last two when up in grade but can get things back on track here with Toeroek taking over from a good gate. Bold showing anticipated. IRONBAR (2) made light work of his rivals here two back, then held his own in town at the latest behind two handy ones. Carries the big weight with the drop in grade and is expected to launch late from his wide draw. ROBERT THE PUSS (6) was denied by the barest of margins first-up when rattling home from a long way back. Can take closer order from the better draw this time. Watch for him bursting through when they sprint. LOCA BELLA (11) got too far back when resuming last time but did make some late inroads. Keeps Holder and is another that can pounce on them if close enough when they quicken. BIG MAV (5) was too bad to be true last time at Murray Bridge. Willing to forgive on best figures and favourable draw.
