Solid tempo with Astunner leading from Viewpoint and Portsmouth. FULL HAO (3) has warmed nicely late in her two runs back after getting too far back. Strips fitter and draws low third-up with Rawiller taking over. Ready. ASTUNNER (9) is rock-hard fit and ticking along in career best touch. Chased gamely into the placings in tricky conditions at Morphettville last start, following up on his dominant win at Parks the start prior. Expect Keatings to push forward under the light weight and be right there when they quicken. MO CHROI (4) is an Irish import making his stable debut for the Waterhouse & Bott team. Profiles as promising stayer, though he might just need this hit out off 376 days. EMBALLEE (7) got too far back first-up but did make some late inroads. Fitter now and stretches further with Berry sticking. Watch for sharp improvement. SUGGESTED PLAY: Full Hao to win.
