BALLADORO (1) broke last start but was going well prior with wins in two of his previous three starts, leading from one spot wider to score by 1.7m at this circuit and distance two back. Has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw. WHATA OPTIMIST (3) hasn't missed the top-four since last month's Shepparton win. Finished second at Gawler two starts back then was competitive again at his latest appearance over 1800m at Globe Derby, beaten 7 metres into third after racing parked. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Big chance. ROCKNROLL RAIDER (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Globe Derby. Genuine threat. CHARMING MAJOR (5) is fitter for recent racing. Next best.
