YARDSTICK (3) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when tenth, beaten 8 lengths, over 6f at Morphettville. The engagement of Jacob Opperman is a positive move. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ROHLON DRUNK (1) raced below his best last time when seventh over 6f at Bordertown, beaten 5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NUDGE 'EM ALONG (2) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 5½f at Bendigo, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths. Worth noting Kate Walters goes aboard. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. VERBOSITY (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 6f at Horsham last time out. Big chance to break through.
