Wonderful Rayray to take charge ahead of Boom Boom Basil at a solid tempo. WONDERFUL RAYRAY (11) is back with his original trainers after a couple of starts at Morphettville earlier in the year. He is better at racing clockwise and has a great chance to return to his best form again. Follow any market moves. SELOUS (8) was running on late at Ipswich last start over 1100 metres and will be peaking third up. He might not get as far back from an inside gate and with the blinkers on for the first time he is ready to show some worthwhile form. Can win. THE LIONESS (7) just battled fresh up in her first run for the David Vandyke stable and should improve quickly second up at an easier level. She has a good track record and is not out of this. Each-way value. ANEMACORE (9) did not miss a cheque in his initial prep, winning 2 of his 4 starts earlier in the season. He will be even stronger this this time in and has had a recent trial to improve his fitness. This journey is well short of his best but he is likely to be charging home and should not be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Anemacore each-way.
