Verdict

ALOHA BLUE (11) improved sharply third-up at Gawler when beaten a head in the wet. Peaking now and keeps Holder. Can go one better. PRINCE KURO (14) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start when leading pillar-to-post. Can cross quickly from the wide alley and will take running down if left alone. FULL COMMITMENT (13) was denied narrowly when resuming here less month. Strips fitter, though is drawn awfully. Will need a smart steer from out there. PRANCETHRULIFE (7) chased in vain behind Price Kuro last start but meets him with a pull at the weights now and can turn the tables. ARAMOSO (4) has form that can measure up, though he's another that will need some luck from a wide alley.
