1. Lord Bouzeron | In the money last start running second at Morphettville Parks and blinkers come off. Has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Rates highly. |
2. Smiling Assassin | Ran three lengths back from the winner last start at Morphettville Parks on a soft track. Sneaky chance. |
3. Zoffala | Can't knock the form with two wins from 11 attempts this campaign and proven perfromer on a soft track. Barend Vorster and Tony & Calvin McEvoy are a proven combination. Genuine contender. |
4. Capricorn Ridge | Has three wins from 11 attempts this campaign and in the money last start running third at Morphettville Parks. Likely to settle back in the field. Go well. |
5. Stern Idol | 27 len win of 7 (7) $3.60 68.0 Mighty Oasis, Twin Spinner 3200m Warrnambool 3yo+ Hrdl (1jw) Heavy(10) July 3. 15 len win of 5 (3) $1.24F 71.5 Once Were Lost, Fort Charles 3200m Pakenham Hrdl (Bm120) Heavy(10) July 17. |
6. Muntham Missile | Struggled so far this preparation but proven on softer tracks. Paul Gatt not a regular jockey for this trainer. One for wider exotics. |
7. Sasun | 9-3/4 len 10th of 12 (5) $101.00 55.5 Perfect Illusion 2100m Gawler (Bm64) Soft(6) July 9. 1-1/4 len 2nd of 10 (9) $26.00 56.0 Hasta La Fiorente 2000m Bordertown (Bm64) Soft(5) July 22. |
8. Wolf Prince | Laid in in straight 1-1/2 len 5th of 9 (9) $16.00 56.0 Dixie Whistler 2200m Balaklava (Bm62) Soft(5) July 27. 10-1/4 len last of 8 (4) $2.70F 59.0 American Trouble 2100m Gawler Plate (C1) Soft(7) Aug 3. |
9. Lutz | Just missed at long odds last start at Balaklava but without a win in six runs at Murray Bdge. Can surprise. |
10. Swankytoff | Having first start for a new trainer and has won three of 11 on a softer track. Track specialist winning three times at Murray Bdge. Outside hope. |
11. Space Equity | Finished seven lengths off the winner last start at Morphettville Parks and soft track a real concern. Has not won at Murray Bdge previously. Appears safely held. |
12. We'll Meet Again | Ran 14th last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track. Hard to get enthused. |
