A solid tempo on the cards with Sailoralong taking charge. HOT CHATTER (4) is better than she showed last time out when tiring from the front, beaten 5.5L. She was in good form prior to that and she now steps out to 1230m. Derrick knows her well and a return to her best form would see her hard to hold out. SONG STORY (5) showed good improvement last start when sitting on the speed and finishing just 1.3L off the winner. The form out of the race has been great and getting out in trip looks to suit. Expecting a bold effort. WARRALEA LASS (3) is an interesting runner dropping back in trip after a solid return at Mt Barker. She does perform better over further, though she may still be sharp enough second-up. Has class and can run over the top of them late in the race. SAILORALONG (2) was only fair last start at Mt Barker but he was a strong winner here fresh. Worth keeping onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hot Chatter makes the most appeal.
