GRATE CRACK (6) was always well out of his ground when 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 7½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Mildura the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. MANGIONE (1) did little and finished 29 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1m2f at Warrnambool last start, a less impressive effort than his tenth at Murray Bridge the run before. Worth noting Sarah Field goes aboard. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. THINKINGNINTYNINE (2) improved sharply on his 12th two starts back at Balaklava with success as favourite over 1m1 1/4f at Port Augusta two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a nose. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. ALL IN VAIN (3) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fourth over 1m3f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
