Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Beast Mode and Bazaball Rewarded can be prominent. CICALA (15) resumes and creates plenty of interest. She's won 4/5 starts to date in Adelaide, including a Listed win, far too good when last seen over 1200m at Morphettville. She's won a trial and loves heavy ground so should get conditions to suit. Expect she measures up. BEAST MODE (1) is a tricky one. The blinkers went on last campaign and he went like a rocket a few times. He probably doesn't want the ground too wet but should be hard to catch. LANDMARK (14) looked the winner here last time and was just edged out very late. Should be at peak fitness now and will take holding out. BAZABALL REWARDED (10) tried hard out to 1100m in Listed grade last time but this is far more suitable, she's a little speed machine and will give a huge sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cicala on top.
