Stone Cold Stunner to find the front in the small field. A good contest. HAPPY CLAN (2) resumed at Hobart this grade over 1400m and needed the outing. He's won 2/4 second-up and the step-up to the mile is ideal. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and shapes as a solid each way play. The former SA galloper CRUZ MISSILE (3) has his third start for the McShane stable and is heading in the right direction. Ran his best race over this distance, leading and winning a 76 at Morphettville Parks by 4.2L on a heavy surface. STONE COLD STUNNER (1) led and won well this trip on the synthetic and she's delivered 2/2 this course distance. Draws low with a 2kg claim and will get every chance to deliver the hat-trick. WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (6) was on the speed and won a 64 easily here against her own sex over 1400m. Gets in well with a 3kg claimer engaged and she should get the mile this time around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Happy Clan.
