Verdict

SKINNY DIPPIN (1) showed promise when in the money at Central Southland on debut then tackled a stronger line-up than this at her latest appearance. Better placed and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. LOUIES ME DAD (3) drew wide and wasn't disgraced last start. Solid effort against stronger company prior. Could measure up aided by a good draw. BYLLEE J (8) draws wide but could be close to a win following back-to-back placings, the latest at this venue. ALWAYS BE KIND (6) was solid from this barrier here last time and has claims off a Roxburgh placing prior.
