Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Mr Ferrari. OVER THE EDGE (1) wasn't disgraced in city class last time when finishing seventh at Morphettville Parks. Will find this much easier. Among the leading chances in this company. BALISTIQUE (9) returns for the Seyers camp and boasts a fresh win. The form around her last time in measure up nicely for this and sharp jumpouts will have her forward. Just need Opperman to be at his top from the sticky draw. FOREVER WAITING (2) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1200m at Mt Gambier. Likely to feature. RATNARAJ (7) was beaten 1.75 lengths into seventh in a 1100m contest at Avoca last time out. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Over The Edge gets the nod.
