Verdict

ZADOWS LANDING (2) continued the good form of the travelling South Australian-based David Page stable when winning his first local start here 6 days ago by well over a length. The extra furlong is no problem, and he can win again. LYN'S STAR (8) jumped quickly and led all the way to win by a length and a half last start over this trip at Albany a week ago, and she looks a top 4 contender again, especially with the aid of a 4kg claim. METALIC MARLIN (5) missed the placings two runs back but improved to finish a game fourth over 1600m here last time in his first run from the Helen Harding stable. He drops in grade and can figure in the top 3 this time. KEEP A KNOCKIN' (3) resumed with an unplaced run but improved to finish two lengths away in fifth over 1400m here last start. He is peaking at the right time, and with the advantage of the pole position, he is ready to put his best hoof forward. Each way value. ALOTTA FIGHTING (4) backs up quickly and drops in class. Include to be safe.
