Verdict

SERENADING (8) resumes for Danny Beasley and showed plenty when winning on a heavy track at Wagga on debut. She's sure to have come on and will get conditions to suit. Draws the outside but has a go-to rider aboard. This is winnable and the betting will be key. HELLS SON (3) has been narrowly beaten his last two and impressed. Raced a $3.3 favourite here last time and winning rider Heywood is reunited. Deserves another win and should go close. SIMPLY LUSCIOUS (5) is free running and will be better for the Swan Hill placing. Has a handy 4lbs claim and plenty up her sleeve. She has to be kept very safe. OH NO MIKKI (1) resumes and is best on the fresh side. The gate is against but the 7lbs claim is handy. She may prove best of the remainder.
