Verdict

MYSTERY CREEK (7) finished fourth last start over 1m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at Addington the run prior. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of taking this out. GET SEASIDE LUCKY (11) disappointed punters when second at a short quote last start at Addington over 1 ³/16m, finishing 0.8 metres from the winner. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SPICEY LOU (9) is usually thereabouts and looks a strong winning hope this time following a last-start second at Central Southland Raceway. Rarely lets backers down. CRUISE MAGUIRE (8) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
