GOING: G

Magain The Shillabeer 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

In the absence of noted leaders, Party Crasher and See Ya Later Baby may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. SERINITE ILLUSION (2) was a barnstorming winner in town last start. The form around him this campaign stacks up strongly everywhere you look. Will be doing his best work late again and can repeat the dose. BOUNCING BEYOND (1) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start but was far from disgraced. Rates highly on best figures as he reunites with Holder. Can atone. PARTY CRASHER (5) made light work of his maiden last start at Strathalbyn over the mile. Interesting to see him dropping back in trip but he does get a kilo off and is drawn much kinder. SILVER LIFESTYLE (3) gets a nice drop in grade after his midfield finish in the LR HC Nitschke Stakes last start. Drawn sticky but rates among the chances. I AM RALPH (9) made a stack of ground in the lane when returning at Murray Bridge. Can take closer order this time and is definitely worth including in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Serinite Illusion. Each-way saver on I Am Ralph.
