Solid tempo likely with The Ladies Man and Castlecomer matching motors. MR TRAFFICANTI (2) has been an eye-catcher in last two when tackling tougher opposition in town. Profiles strongly with the drop in grade and gets a key booking in Holder. Leading player. PRETTY RELIABLE (10) lengthened nicely over the concluding stages to finish in the frame last start at Gawler. Hasn't won for a little while but deserves respect in this line-up. CASTLECOMER (9) stuck on gamely into the frame here last start at long odds. Draws low and is more than capable on best figures. Deserves a lot more respect this time. RUN ON (6) returned in great order to score here two weeks ago. Improvement to come second-up. Have to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Trafficanti to win.
