TREVOR & MAUREEN ASTON PACE 2190m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 21) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

PURPLE KAIDA (7) has had two starts this campaign and has been close to the placings both times. Should be close to peaking now and can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. SEA HUNTER (6) came from this barrier and finished third last start at Port Pirie. Has recorded a win and a placing in two attempts here. Strong claims. CASE FORTY EIGHT (3) is in the mix having recorded-back-to-back placings before a fourth from this barrier in his most recent appearance here. SMOKIN STREPO (2) draws well and is worth thought off a placing here two back.
