There should be a bit of pressure with Green Amber and Our Little Cracker pressing forward in advance of Hasta La Wizard and Mandarin. The best chances all draw wide, requiring luck in the run. JEWELS CAPTAIN (4) improved sharply beaten a nose over 1300m at Penola. The extra metres will help, and he can win holding the form. EGYPTIANS REIGN (1) looked a run short finding a place resuming in the same contest. He can feature with the extra fitness. SHAMASTAR (6) debuts and has been well educated Won his latest trial at Murray Bridge and is ready to go. Has a tough gate for a rookie galloper but he might be too good regardless. MANDARIN (9) resumes for a new yard and placed at Gawler on debut. A betting watch as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jewels Captain appeals most.
