France's Boy to take up the running at a moderate tempo. SAINT MICHAEL (3) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fifth at Balaklava. Should be further improved and worth including. MY MATE COBBER (11) mixes his form, but his best is good enough to fill some minor money here. ROBERT THE PUSS (12) is enjoying racing on wet tracks. If he can sneak a run as an emergency, he will give some cheek with a light weight. SPELMAN (5) returns from a lay-off and will be fitter for a recent trial at Morphettville Parks. Has placed on the heavy going previously and is worth consideration here. MIDNIGHT RUSH (2) steps up to his preferred distance this time and has a decent second-up record. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something each-way on Robert The Puss if he can get into the field.
