RAFFERTY BLUES (2) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 19.70 beating Wait And See. Has a low draw and goes well over this trip. Looks to have an edge on most of these. RUNAWAY MERV (1) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 342m behind Carry On Natasha (20.16) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money prior to that. Should be about the money. SHAKA GOES BANG (8) missed the frame latest when fifth at Murray Bridge Straight (17.26) but scored four back at this track (19.79). Solid record here at the distance winning six races. One of the main contenders. STARLET EDITION (5) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Comments

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th over 342m at this track beaten 10 lengths (20.16) behind Carry On Natasha in a Grade 4/5 on April 6. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at this track (19.94) beating Sebon Knight in a TG1-4W on April 7 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on April 6 over 342m at this track behind Carry On Natasha beaten 8 lengths (20.08). Has the ability to be in the finish.

He hasn't been setting the track on fire and faces tougher opposition here. Looks outclassed here.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.35) over 400m at Gawler. Has to overcome a wide draw but is in the mix.
