Shimshalar and Perfect Costa have good gate speed and can pave the way. THE MARINER (3) is going very well right now, and followed up a big win two back with a runner-up effort at Mt Gambier on June 11. Can return to winning ways. THE LAST JUDGEMENT (1) won well two back at Echuca, and just did not handle the conditions last time when failing to beat one home. Worth another chance in this. SHIMSHALAR (17) is going very well this preparation and warrants plenty of consideration today off a freshen up. SPINHOF (2) resumes and has performed well fresh in the past, so don't dismiss his chance. CALIFORNIA BLAZE (6) is an interesting galloper resuming. She's not raced much at all this past year but they might just have unlocked her now. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with The Mariner who looks well placed to grab another win today.
