GOING: N

CLM QUARRIES PACE 2050m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

TRIGGER (6) brings some good form to the table including a close second at Kapunda last time and a win at Globe Derby last month. Draws wider but can measure right up with even luck. WELL WELL (3) was solid when fifth last start at Globe Derby to follow a placing at Kapunda. Strikes at 50 per cent at this venue. Can be right in the finish. ROLL WITH MUSTARD (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this circuit and distance. SPORTSFLIGHT (5) hasn't been too far off the placegetters in the last two outings so is worth some thought.

Resuming after a layoff of ten weeks. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course when unwanted in the market behind Calculating Dancer. Probably needs this hitout.
