Genuine tempo from Big Brute working across from the outside draw and Tudaya also pressing on. Handy 3YO race with a few progressive types looking to nab a win before the season ends. Victorian visitor MOMETZ (4) is one of those and comes to SA after a series of decent performances in strong Melbourne races. He's drawn well and will get every chance to win. SAV ON ICE (3) has started to deliver on the promise he's always shown. He was dominant last week and looks every chance of winning again. STOMP'EM (10) needs to step up to this grade but he's a progressive type and will get all the favours from a kind draw. SNOOPY NOW (1) brings some class and is capable of winning this, while SHADOW EAGLE (5) can go into trifectas and first fours. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Mometz to win.
