EMERALD REWARD (1) is racing well, scoring in a at Mt Gambier before finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in third last time over 6f at Naracoorte. Deserves another chance. Set Weights ISS WISH (9) was in the placings when 2.9 lengths away from the winner last time at Mt Gambier and gets some weight relief here. Expected to be in the finish. KNIGHT DANCER (2) recorded his first win last start over 6f at Clare, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Re-unites with Brooke King who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. FIRST RETURN (3) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fifth over 7f at Mt Gambier ten weeks ago. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Solid claims on best form.
