Expecting Trade Game to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. TRADE GAME (1) showed his true ability in a far richer race at Morphettville last time, leading throughout in heavy ground for a comprehensive win. Has further upside and will take beating again. JUSTADEXTER (7) is better than the last couple suggest and comes into this off a month's break. Should be ready to fire after two runs back. Race falls right away outside those two. JASSTAR (3) got off the mark winning this course and distance before a spell at cricket score odds. Really wound up strongly and expected to run well fresh. LITTLE ONE (2) is going great guns on the dirt and over further. Down in weight but well back in trip and will need to be at best to feature. FUNNY FEELING (5) took 25 starts to get off the mark at huge odds fresh. Will be winding up late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Trade Game.
