Solid tempo with Swissta leading from Hey Mikki and The Mariner. COLORADO CRUZ (4) improved last start when finishing second after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Can get the job done on quick back-up. SWISS WISH (7) has struggled to threaten so far but holds intrigue on quick back-up. Callan Murray gets the best out of this four-year-old mare. Can play a more prominent role. HEY MIKKI (6) improved last start to finish third over 1000m at Lock. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. SWISSTA (1) was a determined winner three back at Port Lincoln. Has struggled in his last two but gets the blinkers on first time now. Watch for sharp improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colorado Cruz gets the nod.
