GOING:

RAY WHITE COMMERCIAL ADELAIDE PACE (SKY 1) 1800m

Track: GOOD      

LOVE TO DEAL (1) came from wider than this when she scored at Mildura two starts ago before another good showing for second at her latest appearance at this circuit and distance. Likely to get the favours from the ace draw. Primary contender. INTO THE HARKNESS (4) came from the back line when he finished fourth last start at Horsham. Suited dropping to a distance where he has won both attempts. MODSQUAD (3) is flying at present with three wins from the last four outings here. Draws well and is big chance to keep the ball rolling. APIECEOFLOU (9) draws on the back line but continues to race well with a string of top-four finishes since winning here last month.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Feng Shui Star at this track over 2230m in a NR 44 to 51 on December 7 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Mikis Beauty at this track over 1800m in a NR 46 to 51 on December 15 at $14. Can play a big role again.
