Verdict

The speed looks like it could be on here so they may set it up for something hitting the line. Perhaps it will be CONCORDE (2), who was brilliant from the back first-up when reeling off some of the best closing sectionals at the end of 1400m. He's suited up in trip and gets a handy 3kg claim for Matt Chadwick. He can win. MERCHANT BOSS (3) rarely runs badly and he again looks an each-way chance from a sticky draw. INDIAN JEWEL (9) comes across from Victorian and her form lines must be respected. BIT OF A REBEL (8) wasn't far away in an easier race last time and can be included in wider plays, as can MAXILDO (13) who will give a bit of cheek in front.

Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len at Balaklava 0-58 July 9 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Mystical Wisdom carrying 59kg at $2.60. The race before that led to the turn then faded 7th of 13 at Morphettville Bm68 on June 21 over 1800m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Magnetic Edge with 51.5kg at $13. Will give them something to catch again.
