Verdict

BAREFOOT TORA (7) improved at Geelong and again at Stony Creek narrowly beaten over 1 ¹/16m. She was heavily bet and will relish the further step up in distance. THE YACHTSMAN (8) mixes the form but is up to this at best and can go better back in distance. Maps well and will get every chance. COOMOROO LADY (11) just missed over a mile at Wodonga and will be better for it. She should run it out okay and deserves consideration. THE KINGS GOSPEL (3) missed 1l here first up and then won a 52 at Hanging Rock. Draws and inside barrier and can't be ruled out.
