Plenty of pace with Dubai Dancer and Nasho up front, pressured by Hot Strut and Aquaholic. HOT STRUT (4) was in the money at first two from a spell then raced in town and then narrowly missed the frame in a blanket finish over this trip at Morphettville. Has upside and the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. COOL MAGNUM (3) has been okay when tackling tougher opposition in town. Will find this easier and can cause a big late scare if the pace is genuine. NASHO (1)
dropped out quickly in town last time when facing stiffer opposition. Is sure to have come on from that and will appreciate the drop in grade. Expect him to bounce straight to the front and prove tough to run down. AQUAHOLIC (6) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 1200m at Mt Gambier. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. One of the better hopes. DUBAI DANCER (2) has been well below her best in her two runs back but is drawn to advantage third-up and should give plenty of cheeky in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hot Strut to win.
