---|---|---|---|---|
Slick tempo to be established by Rokabye Warrior and Lady Tucan. HEADPHONES (3) is yet to strike through this campaign but has been knocking on the door. Drops back in grade and has Payne sticking. Ready now. ROKABYE WARRIOR (12) is ticking along nicely. Drops back to a winning trip on the short turnaround and is among the main hopes. HIGH FIVE (5) returns and it's worth nothing he was a handy maiden winner to kick things off last time in. Strips fitter for a Morphettville trial but is drawn tricky. Keeping safe. Last-start winner CHAMBERS BAY (1) also warrants respect after getting the job done here. 3kg claimer stays on to aid the big weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Headphones each-way in the last.
