Proven Correct should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. THE MANSMAN (1) is a hard horse to catch but if you can ever be confident about his chances, it's over 1400m at Murray Bridge, where he's won two of his three starts. He's drawn to be finishing down the middle part of the track, which is likely to be the place to be by this stage of the day. AFFAIRE VUE (11) is stepping straight out of maiden grade but she was very impressive last time. She can go forward and go on with it. EXABANOISE (2) is better than what he showed on the heavy track last week. He's a tricky ride but there is ability there and he can definitely run in the money. Don't dismiss the chances of HIGH GARDEN (9). SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Exabanoise each-way.
