Swan Dance should be able to comfortably find the front. Race drops away quickly. SWAN DANCE (8) has placed in four of four starts, the latest a top effort in a Class 1 at Morphettville off a wide draw. Back to the right class, low draw this time and the clear one to beat. CELEMAN ZOR (7) is a former NSW galloper fitter for two runs for the new yard and now gets out to a more suitable journey. Can improve sharply. DEXTER DREAM (1) was a length off Swan Dance last time in fifth. Back to the right class and will go close. ORCHARD THIEF (4) is fitter for two runs back and can improve out in journey. KOHALA (2) ran eighth in the same race as Swan Dance and doubt he can turn the tables but can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swan Dance gets chance.
