Solid tempo from Brave Apache, Costless and Nasho battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. MANSIERE (2) has just four wins from 33 but his recent form has been outstanding. Took over a fair way from home then held on well for third last Saturday in a stronger race over this distance at Morphettville Parks. Only goes up 2kgs and gets the peach run from gate one. Must go on top. Veteran CHIPSON (4) showed he was getting back to his best when an eye-catching fourth over 1514m at Morphettville last time, beaten under a length. Has a fine record here at this distance. Will be storming home. DIRTY DEAL (13) continues to race well five runs into his maiden prep. Up a little in grade after just missing over 1514m at Morphettville recently. Drops 5 kg after the claim so he should be competitive again. FLOREY (9) didn't give a yelp after missing the kick when resuming over 1300m last start. Good mare when right so she can offer a lot more today. EXTINGUISH (8) comes here off a six-week let-up. Finds a firmer track for the first time this prep. One to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mansiere to win.
