1. Smiling Assassin | Unplaced in all seven runs this prep and returns to shorter trip. Without a win in four runs at Strathalbyn. Prefer to watch go around. |
2. Exalted Ruth | Ran ninth last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track and up in trip. Likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected. Leading hope. |
3. Neva Doubt Us | Has placed in three runs from seven this campaign and placed last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track. Among the main chances. |
4. Six Foot Song | Coming off a win to break maiden at Murray Bdge and has run well on a soft track. Paul Gatt has had success aboard previously. Hard to go past. |
5. Ammo Loco | Ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track and drawn ideally. Rates highly with Jeffrey Maund back on board. Not the worst. |
6. If You Leave | Faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Mount Gambier when fresh and up in distance. Won once this prep at Naracoorte six runs back. One for the multiples. |
7. Malinong Club | Won once this prep at Strathalbyn two runs back and rises in distance. Barend Vorster a bonus. Genuine claims. |
8. Briabella | Faded to finish eight lengths off the winner last start at Strathalbyn but claim should help, looks tested. |
