Tanna and Refreshing should set a strong tempo. REFRESHING (12) has drawn out wide today but the rise to 1200m should suit her much better after flying late from midfield at Morphettville last time out. She does possess some early speed and the wet deck won't be an issue. Better suited here and can land the knockout blow. COPPER BULLET (3) will be fitter for three trials coming into this and is a first-up winner in the past. The sting out of the ground won't hurt and he can put his best foot forward. STOLEN KISS (10) was solid off a freshen last time out over 1100m in a stronger race and looks well placed in this. IMPENDING DIAMOND (7) got a long way back last start when a disappointing 11th over 1200m at Murray Bridge. Perfectly placed and look for an improved run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Refreshing gets the nod.
