Good early pace from Daveedo, Galaxy Falls and Zesty Spice going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. SHALAGA (1) stormed over the top to win by a length at this course and distance a fortnight ago and rates highly off that effort. The wide draw won't hurt as he gets back anyway. Tootell was on board last start and claims 2kgs again and if he can replicate his latest effort, he should be winning again. EXALTED TRAVELLER (8) trialled well at this course recently after a 2L defeat at Port Lincoln 28 days ago. He hasn't won for a very long time, but he looks to have found the right race and he loves this trip. Has been placed here before and is sure to be in the finish. HARBOURING (2) was only 1.1L off the winner last time out and was on the 4 day back up on that occasion. Now a fortnight between runs and out in trip, he's sure to be closing off strongly. AXECAPITAL (11) is better than he showed last time out and is worth including. WICKED ADDICTION (6) is ticking along nicely and if he can get back to his prior form he's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Shalaga in the last.
