GOING: S

Team Wiss Agronomy & Agspec Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1050m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 950m-450m. Out 2.5m 450m-W/Post. Out 2m W/Post-1600m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.85).  

Cracking early tempo with Real Roy leading the way. BERKINSON (5) made it two on the bounce last start when knuckling down strongly to get the verdict at Port Augusta. This is a bit tougher but he's in terrific form and can bring up the hat-trick. JIMMYS EDGE (6) returns. Is yet to score fresh but steps back out over a track and trip he relishes and is drawn to advantage. Worth serious thought. DAMAGED (2) was an eye-catcher when resuming at Murray Bridge and then followed it up with a sound minor placings. Should be nearing his peak third-up and is among the main hopes. REGAL DANCER (7) has been well below his best in his two runs back but tackles a much easier assignment this time and is 1/1 over the track and trip. Don't take lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Berkinson can win again.
