Verdict

PRINCESS LISA (1) registered a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 1 ½m at Central Southland Raceway after she was held-up into the turn. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DURRANT (3) ran fourth last start at this track over 1 ?m, beaten 12 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. THE REAL CRUNCH (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1 ?m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. DRAGON POWER (12) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
