3. Dr Dependable | Resumes after a 21 week spell and trialled at Morphettville. Down in distance. Looking to others. |
4. Handsome Return | Placed last start at Morphettville when fresh and large claim helps. Proven second-up runner winning in two of six attempts. Sneaky chance. |
5. Blow Torch | Finished midfield last start at Broken Hill and down in weight. Likely to race on the speed. Looking to others. |
6. France's Boy | Has placed in two runs from eight this campaign and takes a 3kg claim. Wide barrier is a concern. Not in this. |
7. Oh Mo | Coming off a win at Morphettville and takes a 3kg claim. Goes down in weight. Go well. |
8. Alsvior | Finished a length back from the leader last start at Morphettville on a soft track and up in trip. Drops in weight. Sneaky chance. |
9. Exalted Traveller | Chased well to just miss last start at Morphettville and six from seven wins have been in the dry. Can get the job done. |
10. New Choice | Won once this prep at Cranbourne two runs back and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. three of four wins have come from dry ground. Rough claims. |
11. Robe Bay | Finished a length back from the leader last start at Bendigo on a soft track when fresh and faces a rise in distance. Likely to race off the speed. Outside hope. |
12. Roselli Sting | Has placed in five runs from 12 this campaign and returns to shorter trip. seven from nine wins have been in the dry. Knockout hope. |
13. Ice Ghost | Won once this prep at Gawler six runs back and no wins in 19 past runs at Morphettville. Awkwardly drawn. One for wider exotics. |
