Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. TENNESSEE MAGGIE (12) showed improvement in her second start since shifting from Victoria earlier in the season and was runner-up at Gawler 18 days ago. She will be spot-on third up with her fitness and should get the job done this time. NURYS (8) was fourth in the same race as the top pick but has a worse draw to contend with this time. She had a brace of minor placings before that and should still be thereabouts in this. OPPORTUNE CHANCE (9) made up some solid ground at Gawler last start when finishing fourth and just over 2-lengths from the winner. She has had her chances in the past to win a race and that elusive first victory is not far away. Include in all combinations. CROWN AND ANCHOR (1) has mixed her form in this campaign and after a big run for second at Oakbank she was only plain at Balaklava last time out. She is worth another chance at odds from a handy gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tennessee Maggie to win.
