SAVILLE was a winner here on Soft ground last July before going to town and beating So You Can. His three runs back up in class has been solid and that looks the perfect set up for this race with 3kg claim for Rochelle Milnes. IMPERIAL SEAL broke his maiden status beating Thebigsosso at Gawler last week, his previous form was good, draws a gate and would be right in the mix if he gains a start. JIMMY'S EDGE has been racing well and will appreciate the drop in class after chasing home Queman last time at Morphettville. TUPOLEU has a handy record and good fresh record to match. He had form around the like of Pentire's Spirit and Wonderwomen before a break. BIG SHAQ resumes on the back of a Murray Bridge trial win. He beat Tan Tat Beau to win his maiden at Gawler back in September and must be respected for the in form Macdonald/Gluyas/Holder combo.

PLAY: Backing SAVILLE each-way.

MASTER OF ZERPRISE has been mixing his form winning at Murray Bridge beating Santelmo Fuego, who has won in town since, before an OK run behind Whiskey 'N' Women last week. FLIGHT DECK was backed to run favourite when 8th behind Campobasso at Gawler last week. COVERED CALL jumped equal fav in the same race and was beaten 4.6 lengths in 9th, his Strathalbyn win on speed in March would have him in the mix here.

SIXFOOTONE was runner-up here behind Pompeii Ruler before running 6th behind Jacks On Ice at Morphettville on Saturday. He's on the quick back up and looks well placed.

SHOOTING FOR STARS trialled like a nice horse before she carved up late at her SA debut at Oakbank. Her two runs since have been fair at best but she has trialled well again since. ELSA'S PRIDE won her first two starts and was good when 3rd behind Hongbao last time at Murray Bridge. She'll give them something to chase from the inside gate.
