Bocheeva brings the strongest recent form with consecutive second placings at Strathalbyn (2050m) and Oakbank (1900m). While yet to break through for a win, he's been knocking on the door and appears ready to peak third-up. Drawn well in barrier 3, he should get a perfect run just behind the speed.

His last three runs have produced a 3rd, 5th and 3rd, showing consistency at this level. The step up to 2000m is a query but his running style suggests he should handle it. Barrier 2 gives Jason Holder options to position him ideally in the moderate tempo.
Blabber Mouth is a lightly-raced 3yo filly showing steady improvement with each run. Her 3rd placing two starts back over 1600m followed by a solid 5th over 1900m suggests she's ready for this 2000m journey. The R & C Jolly stable is in good form.
As a 3yo gelding, he's still improving and the step up to 2000m looks ideal based on his running style. While drawn wide, the moderate tempo should allow him to find a position midfield and his light weight gives him a chance to finish strongly.

His recent fifth placing showed improvement and he's drawn to get a good run from barrier 8. The 3YO gelding has a solid record at this track and appears ready to break through for his maiden win with Jason Holder aboard. Should be suited by the very fast tempo predicted.
Summertime Madness showed promise when sixth first-up at this track and distance 13 days ago. Todd Pannell sticks with him which is a positive sign, though he'll need to overcome barrier 12. The addition of ear muffs suggests connections are looking to help him settle better.
Second Heaven debuts for the powerful R & C Jolly stable who typically have their horses well prepared. Drawing barrier 3 is ideal for a first-starter and the lightweight of 52.5kg is another significant advantage. The very fast tempo may test an inexperienced runner.
While her recent form has been poor, she's dropping significantly in class from her last start in Restricted 56 company.

His form is clearly improving with placings in his last two starts. Maps to settle midfield from barrier 5 which is perfect in this very fast tempo race where leaders may struggle.
The winkers going on first time should sharpen her focus, and she maps to get a perfect midfield position from barrier 4. Her recent form is consistent and the 54.5kg weight is ideal in this field.
Mikki Tango comes into this second-up after a solid first-up 3rd placing at Morphettville Parks. While yet to win from 6 starts, he has shown consistency with a placing and several close-up finishes. Barrier 10 is a slight concern but should be able to find a position midfield.
While yet to win from 14 starts, he has placed 3rd previously and gets an advantageous barrier 3 draw.

Carlton Draught Hcp (56)
His recent form is solid with a win two starts back over 2050m at Strathalbyn and a 4th last start. Has a good record at this track with 1 win, 1 second and 2 thirds from 15 starts. Well-drawn in barrier 3 and should get an ideal run in midfield.
Lady Lupara comes off a strong win over this distance at Murray Bridge last start, carrying 55kg. Has a good record at this track with 1 win and 1 third from 5 starts, including a win at this track and distance. Gets the services of top jockey Todd Pannell and draws well in barrier 4. The slight class rise is the main concern, but her recent form suggests she's up to the task.
Has won at this distance range before and possesses a versatile racing pattern that should allow her to overcome the awkward barrier draw. The class rise is a concern, as is the equal top weight of 58kg, but her recent form suggests she's racing well enough to be competitive.
This 9yo gelding has a strong record at this distance range with 2 wins and a second from 5 starts.

Thomas Farms (Bm56)
Aztec Dancer brings the strongest credentials with a perfect record at this track and distance, including a win just 26 days ago over the same course. The 900m specialist has shown she can handle this class level and gets the services of experienced jockey Teagan Voorham.
While her win strike rate is modest, she's a consistent placegetter who should get every chance from barrier 2. The 51-day freshen-up is a slight concern, but her first-up record is reasonable, and she's drawn to get the perfect run in transit. The class rise is the main query.
She's likely to push forward from barrier 10 and should be prominent in the early stages. The removal of blinkers is interesting but may help her settle better in a race with strong tempo. Her recent form is consistent, and she should be competitive despite the topweight.
Kalosyni represents excellent value as a lightly-raced mare with significant upside. Her second-up record suggests improvement, and the gear changes (ear muffs again, tongue tie again) should help her settle better. The 21-day spacing between runs is ideal.

Sportsbet Same Race Multi Hcp (56)
Bolted In brings the strongest combination of recent form and track suitability to this race. With previous success at this track and dropping in class, he's well-positioned to capitalize on the expected fast tempo.
Exalted Kate brings solid credentials with her consistent recent form, including a 2nd place finish at Bordertown just 19 days ago. With a reliable record of 3-5-3 from 34 starts and experience at this class level, she's well-positioned to capitalize on the expected fast tempo. Todd Pannell is a significant jockey booking, and her racing pattern should suit this race setup.
Lady Of Savoy represents excellent value with her outstanding place record of 1-8-3 from 22 starts (50% place rate). Her recent form has been consistent with a 3rd at Bordertown and 2nd at Clare. Well-drawn in barrier 6 and with top jockey Jason Holder engaged, she's perfectly positioned to capitalize on the expected fast tempo. While her win strike rate is low, her consistency makes her a strong each-way proposition.

Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair (Bm56)
Dropping significantly in class from Restricted 62 company and has strong track credentials (9: 1-2-2). His recent 2nd place at Oakbank shows he's in peak form, and the fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.
Lucky Fortuna comes off a strong win at Murray Bridge over this distance and has been racing consistently with a 1-5 finish pattern in her last two starts. Her inside barrier draw (6) should allow her to secure a good position in the expected fast-tempo race.
Pricilla's Choice brings strong credentials with an excellent record at this distance (15: 5-0-2) and track (5: 1-1-1). Coming off a win at Oakbank over this distance 14 days ago, she's shown consistent form. The good barrier draw (3) should allow her to secure a midfield position in the expected fast-tempo race, and her proven ability to finish strongly makes her a genuine contender.
The advantageous barrier draw (4) should allow him to secure a good position in the expected fast-tempo race.
