THE BANTAM (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1200m at Echuca last time, scoring by a nose. Shaping up nicely and he is sure to go well. THE JOURNO (1) was always well out of his ground when 5 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1200m at Murray Bridge last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up fifth at Morphettville the run before. Has the ability to take care of this field. DARK LAGER (2) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with a nose to spare over 1450m at Edenhope. Takes on a much tougher assignment but has winning claims. ARTILLERY (5) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1250m here last time. Among the chances.
