A solid tempo is on the cards with She Rex and Starcho Libre pushing for the lead ahead of Friend In Me and Piklemegranmother. SHE REX (13) has had three runs this preparation in stronger and has been kept fresh for 48 days. Just missed at Morphettville first-up over this trip and that rates strongly. Has the blinkers on for the first time and is well placed. HERE SHE IS (9) clocked-in 2.25 lengths from the winner in third last time out over 1100m at Clare. Jumped a short-priced favourite and has more to offer. The outside gate is the query, but Pannell rides and count on him to manage. Winning claims with average luck. VAMORE (3) resumed much improved beaten 2.5L over 1050m at Balaklava. The longer sprint shouldn't bother this time around and he's likely to settle back and finish hard. STARCHO LIBRE (2) ran below expectations last start at Balaklava but his first-up effort at Clare was good. Maps well and the shorter sprint will suit better. SUGGESTED PLAY: She Rex to win.
