Hit the slopes (4) was only beaten 1.3l at gawler and then raced a 2/1 favourite in town over 1m1f and was slow away and couldn't pick up.Back to the mile suits as does this grade.Not sure the inside gate suits but he has a key jockey switch to the in-form toeroek.Hits the race at peak and it's winnable.Zesty spice (11) led over 7½f at gawler when beaten 1l.He improved sharply and can keep building.Will skip over and race forward and keeps the handy 4.4lb claim.He's a quinella hope.Tall letter (8) has shown ability but is hard to catch.Has the blinkers applied for the first time and they may spark the required improvement.Parsonage lane (7) kicks off his campaign over a mile.Clearly has the best figures presenting but they've been delivered over middle distances.Has a handy claim and it's worth keeping an eye on the late betting moves.
