1. Scary Go Round | Has three wins from 12 attempts this campaign and amongst the placegetters last start running third at Port Lincoln. Rates highly with Lizzie Annells back on board. Go well. |
2. Eightbalsidepocket | Faded to finish nine lengths off the winner last start at Port Lincoln when fresh. Will likely lead/box seat and carrying less weight. Don’t dismiss. |
3. Doug's Journey | Resumes after spell of 30 weeks and fitter for Morphettville trial. Generally strong first-up but still looking elsewhere. |
4. Augusta Rock | First-up after 38 week spell and has trialled at Morphettville. Generally strong first-up but outsider. |
5. Kissable Eight | Finished worse than midfield last start at Clare and placed when fresh. Goes up slightly in weight. Knockout hope. |
6. A Thousand Degrees | Resumes from a 19 week spell and both wins have come in the dry. Karl Zechner not a regular jockey for this trainer. Needs the breaks. |
7. Rustydustysunshine | On a six day back-up and takes a 4kg claim. Running 7kg lighter than last start. Strong hope. |
8. Heart Like Mine | Back after 35 week break and having first start for a new trainer. Has a place in two trials but still looking elsewhere. |
9. Rushwa | Finished worse than midfield last start at Morphettville but comes back to race at a country level. Expected to settle off the speed. Hard to go past. |
