A solid tempo on the cards with Limbering taking charge. Tough finish. JE CITY (1) was good fresh then put the writing on the wall last time when on speed and beaten a head. Ready to win and has the claim. Can give a sight again. GALLOPING GURU (3) is a well-travelled galloper who returned off a break here over 1200m and flashed home at huge odds to just miss. That has proven a top form race too. Fitter and extra trip is a plus. Gets a chance to go close again. LIMBERING (11) ran fourth last time out at Port Augusta. A speedy type who will give a sight with the light weight. LAST WAR (10) fine effort last start when he finished a close fourth at Murray Bridge over 1400m. Has the ability and will also be winding up late. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Je City deserves a win.
