1. Grinzinger Star | Can't knock the form with three wins from eight attempts this campaign and a track specialist winning twice at Port Augusta. Comes back to race at a country level. Strong hope. |
2. Harbouring | Never in the race last start at Murray Bdge and faces a rise in distance. Has won three times at Port Augusta before. Should fight out the finish. |
3. Port Royal | Ran seven lengths back from the winner last start at Port Augusta but takes a 3kg claim. No wins in three past runs at the track. Place hope. |
4. Leonarda | Ran five lengths back from the winner last start at Port Augusta and has outstanding form at this track. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. Outside hope. |
5. Lights Of Broadway | Last start winner to break maiden at Balaklava on a heavy track and is up in journey. Likely to race on the speed. A good chance. |
6. Gottabiton | Can't knock the form with two wins from 12 attempts this campaign and amongst the placegetters last start running second at Port Augusta. All wins have come when faced with dry ground. Winning chance. |
7. Charlton | Finished six lengths off the winner last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track and returns to shorter trip. Has not won in five outings to Port Augusta before. Place chance. |
8. Mongolian Pride | On a four day back-up. Was able to place at long odds last start at Gawler on a heavy track and has two placings from 10 runs this prep. One for wider exotics. |
9. Near Magic | Did nothing to threaten last start at Port Augusta but drawn the rails. four of five wins have come from dry ground but appears safely held. |
10. Galaxy Falls | Having first run for a new trainer and up in distance. Likely to race off the speed. Prefer others. |
11. Lettemgo | Ran 13 lengths back from the winner last start at Hawker and 2kg claim should help. All two wins have come in the dry. Chance. |
12. Smart Style | Disappointing last start at Port Augusta but claim should help. Just the one placing this campaign at Hawker. Not in this. |
