Reasonable tempo with Cork Harbour probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. NARALINGA (6) has left himself with too much to do in his last two but is knocking on the door. Drawn sticky for Crowther, but watch for him bursting through on fresh legs. SANTASTICO (1) dug deep to prevail two back at Penola, then closed hard to just miss the placing last time out. Opperman reuniting reads favourably. Can atone. EL PASO CITIE (3) was shooting to bring up the hat-trick last start at Murray Bridge but found it a bit too tough. Rates well back at this level and can bounce back sharply. LONGTIMEDREAMING (4) sets up nicely for this fourth-up and is some home if Pannell can utilise a good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naralinga to win.
