GOING: G

Weber Store Adelaide Mile End Rating 0 - 62 Handicap (Heat 6 of Adelaide In Autumn Series) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.61)  

High On Sugar is expected to lead at a strong tempo. COMMANDER MEROO (3) strikes a nice race first-up. Produced some strong efforts last campaign in town that stack right up for this. Readied with a solid hit-out here. Can build on his handy record over this track and trip. PRANCETHRULIFE (13) stuck on evenly to the line when resuming against tougher opposition. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt. Will just need a smart steer from the wide draw. Can't knock the form of OUR DIVINYL (12) as he shoots for the hat-trick. This is tougher but he has to be considered. HIGH ON SUGAR (1) strikes a nice race for his first-up assignment and has proven a capable type on his day. No reason he can't get involved in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Commander Meroo to win.
