Plenty of pressure primarily from Bit Of A Rebel, Aquaholic and Hidden Bounty. CHARLESFORT (7) was a dominant winner fresh which then led to strong market support second-up but he got too far back. Turns around quickly third-up and should relish the rise in trip. If they can settle closer he will take plenty of stopping. HARD LEAF (2) has been less effective in his last two in the slop but steps back out to a winning trip and gets an important 3kg claim. Main danger. IMPACT STORM (8) missed by the narrowest of margins fresh but has been less effective against tougher company since. Can bounce back sharply with fresh legs. IRONBAR (3) was back to his best last start at Murray Bridge. Stays at the winning trip and keeps Murtagh who's a more than capable backmarker-pilot. LOOSE LIP LLOYD (5) made a complete mess of his rivals last start at Mt Gambier when spearing straight to the front and never giving them a sniff. Tougher here but have to pay that win some respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charlesfort to win.
