Verdict

SINBAD SASSY (9) came from a wide barrier for a resuming second at this venue before he was beaten only 3 metres at Menangle last time. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon and has won third-up before so should be ready to peak. GINGER ELLA (1) was down the track last start but was going well prior, filling a minor placing at the previous appearance here to follow a Shepparton win. Should enjoy the favours from this advantageous draw. ACHY BREAKY ARK (3) was beaten less than 6m from the back row last week. Much better drawn and he strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. HALF PRICE BRIDE (5) has produced two decent efforts at Bendigo off a spell. Has recorded a win and a placing in two attempts here and could be ready to peak third-up.
