1. Trumpsta | Won at big odds last start at Strathalbyn when first up and in strong form with two wins from four attempts this campaign. Proven on softer tracks. Among the main chances. |
2. Carbone | Finished four lengths off the winner last start at Morphettville on a soft track and likes the cut in the ground. Placed in first start this prep. One of the main hopes. |
3. Stryke In Style | Unplaced in all four runs this prep but has outstanding form at this track. Wide barrier is a concern but still has solid claims. |
4. Don't Dismiss | First-up after 15 week break and returns to shorter trip. Drawn ideally but still cannot entertain. |
5. Wonaeamirri | Won once this prep at Bordertown 10 runs back and placed at long odds last start at Penola but looks tested. |
6. Another Free Glass | Back from let-up and returns to shorter trip. Likely to settle back in the field. Rough claims. |
7. Bon Pegasus | On a four day back-up. Chased well to just miss last start at Gawler and should run fitter for past attempts. Go well. |
8. Table of Wisdom | First-up after 24 week break and winner of one when first-up including ran second at Gawler last go. Looks ready to go following trial win at Murray Bdge. Place only. |
9. It's A Shame | Struck interference at start. Shifted out on straightening 12-3/4 len 12th of 13 (9) $21.00 57.0 El Magnificence 1200m Balaklava E&G Hcp (58) Good(3) Sept 29. Slowly away. Raced wide without cover 1/2 len win of 11 (10) $26.00 57.0 Kilowatt, Unscopeable 1350m Strathalbyn (Bm52) Good(4) Nov 17. |
10. Sabaku | Winner at Gawler and placed twice this prep. Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Strathalbyn. Won't be far away in the run. Perfectly placed. |
11. Bella Soo | Coming off a win to break maiden at Strathalbyn and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Rates highly with Jeffrey Maund retaining the ride. Forward showing no surprise. |
12. More Shots | First-up after 23 week break and first start for a new trainer. Fitter for multiple trial runs. Hard to have. |
13. Tempting Belle | Let-up for seven weeks and trial placing in 49 days since last race adds confidence. Should race on the speed. Appears safely held. |
14. Hilumiere | Back from 30 week spell and has trialled at Murray Bdge. Ran second at Strathalbyn when last first-up. Look to others. |
