Solid tempo likely from Sha Na Na and Dylan's Lad. REINE OF NINE (11) turned a mile back from the leader at headquarters last start before letting rip with a strong turn of foot to earn a minor spot. Peaking now and while she'll likely get back again from the draw, she can launch late and reel them in. ALOHA BLUE (8) turned in a much stronger showing third-up when getting through the slop well at Gawler to only fall a head shy of the winner. Strips fitter third-up and keeps Holder. Can give this another big shake. HERE COMES HOGAN (3) also handled the Heavy track well last start when scoring comfortably at Horsham. Draws well and gets in well with the 2kg claim. Deserves following up. SHIKANIC (5) has been good on the dirt in his two runs back. Keeping safe with a switch to the turf. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reine Of Nine gets the nod.
