1. Noir de Rue | Unwanted by the market but right up there last start at Morphettville. Wide barrier is a concern. Likely to race on the speed. Place. |
2. Call Me Shamus | Last start winner at long odds at Morphettville and has very strong form at the track. Has three wins from 10 attempts this campaign. Place. |
3. My Boy Birmingham | Narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Morphettville when fresh and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Has genuine early speed. Beautifully placed. |
4. Trip | Faded to finish eighth last start at Morphettville and has not won at the track previously. Should race on the speed. Hard to go past. |
5. Aiguilette | Won once this prep at Morphettville two runs back and placed last start at the track. Gets a nice run behind a genuine tempo. Right in this. |
6. Tubby Two Tracks | Just missed at long odds last start at Morphettville. Winner at Gawler and placed once this campaign. Won't be far away in the run. Outside hope. |
7. Annika | Bolted in last start at Gawler and three wins from 12 attempts this campaign. Rates highly with Jake Toeroek aboard. Rough claims. |
8. Metro Legend | Faded to finish seventh last start at Morphettville on a soft track and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Goes well on a softer track. Winning chance. |
9. Rialtor | Led throughout for a dominant win last start at Penola and three wins from eight attempts this campaign. Large claim helps. Forward showing no surprise. |
10. Ambidazzle | Has two wins from eight attempts this campaign but wide barrier is a concern. Down in distance. Not here. |
11. Lacrima | Won last start at Mount Gambier but looks up to metropolitan grade. An untried jockey and trainer combination. Appears safely held. |
12. Frankel Star | Won once this prep at Oakbank two runs back and finished midfield last start at Gawler. Drawn ideally but cannot entertain. |

14. Lomax | Disappointed when only placing as favourite last start at Gawler and blinkers come off. Has placed in two runs from three this campaign but still unlikely. |
15. Skilled Bunch | Came on to finish just behind midfield last start at Morphettville when fresh but has run well on a softer track. Winner of 3.0 when second-up including a win at Naracoorte last go. Right in this. |
