Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 4m Entire, Sectional 608m.  

Important Product and Chef De Mission to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. THEBIGSOSSO (5) has been in good form this prep and was only beaten by a nose at Oakbank last start after racing handy to the pace that day. He should settle near the early speed again from a handy gate in this and is nicely poised to go one better. IMPORTANT PRODUCT (1) will be peaking third-up after a couple of decent efforts at Morphettville Parks to open this current campaign. He slides down a class and would have been the top pick had he drawn a decent gate. Shayne Cahill takes the reins and he could make all the difference where it matters most. LITTLE RICH BOY (8) has a good record on this track and is normally not far away at this level. He was a beaten favourite last time out at Bordertown and can make amends with an upgrade in draws here. Stick with him on an each-way basis. TAN TAT BEAU (2) has won both of his career races on his home track here and has also not missed a cheque in four fresh-up runs in the past. He will be ready to rumble after a couple of lead-up trials. SUGGESTED PLAY: Important Product each-way.
