Verdict

VICTORIA FALLS has more scope than most and gave the impression this shorter trip would suit when fading in the closing stages here last time. Kardinya won over a longer distance at the track in December and Carey Street also drops back down in trip with a shout off his current mark while Ri Na Farraige will be sharper for a recent reappearance at Southwell. Voltaic is back on a winning mark but Triggered has yet to race over this far.
