GOING: S

Western Front 1916 Rating 0 - 62 Handicap (Heat of Adelaide in Autumn Series) 1511m

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

Just an even tempo anticipated. SAN LUCIDO (4) was a comfortable winner the last time he visited this course in January and his 3 starts since then have all had merit in tougher fields at Morphettville Parks. He was running on powerfully late over 1250 metres last time out and the extra furlong here is ideal. If the gaps come at the right time, he should be hard to beat. RUBINI (8) took his time to reach full-fitness this prep but put it all together last time out when scoring by a neck. He is up 4 kilos in weight this time but does slide back a grade and he can win again. IMPOSING SUSPECT (3) is a very capable gelding on his day and he took his record to 3 wins on this track from only 4 starts when he was successful here just over a fortnight ago. He is just as sharp second up and with the aid of a 2 kilo claim, he can double the dose. SANTELMO FUEGO (5) is a tough veteran who is still very competitive at this level. He normally hits his straps third up and with a drop back in class he can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: San Lucido to win.
