Solid tempo with The Big Wheel leading from Super Lad and Articulating. ARTICULATING (2) brings compelling form to resumption and comes back a few levels in grade. He led narrowly beaten at Murray Bridge at his only fresh run and improved every outing following. He's trialled well at The Parks and, with Pannell aboard, maps for a soft on-pace run. THE BIG WHEEL (1) resumes off an easy Maiden win at Mildura on debut. He has a handy 2kg claim and won a recent Penola trial by 5.7L. He will be naturally improved, and a bold effort is likely. SUPER LAD (12) resumed at Port Lincoln heavily bet and was beaten 1L after settling back. He presents fitter and has more up his sleeve. Has a handy 2kg claim and should sit handier today. OUR SELECTION (14) was plain at Oakbank, but his effort at Murray Bridge prior would have him in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Articulating to win.
