Verdict

TOOK GARDNER (4) showed plenty of grit to keep them all at bay last time at Murray Bridge when shedding the maiden tag. Plenty to like about that win and with the 3kg claimer going on she gets in light. Expect her to spear forward and prove tough reel in again. WIND RUSH (3) has been knocking on the door for a long time and gets what could be his best chance yet to break the drought. Pannell should know the gelding well by now and will have in a sweet spot from a good draw. REGAL RIPPER (6) caught the eye second-up without threatening and has peaks that would see him in the finish. If they can utilise the inside draw he will be right there at the finish. BOLD SECRET (1) dominated his maiden two back and followed it up with a solid effort here three weeks ago. At his top now and gets a key booking in Holder. Have to include. GAZELLE (5) has returned in good from and will be hoping they roll early so she can launch late.
