CHARLESFORT (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Morphettville, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m1f. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. EUREKA'S VICTORY (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m at Morphettville, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Has the talent to take care of this field. MIDNIGHT RUSH (7) improved sharply on his 14th two starts back at Murray Bridge with a win over 6f at this track a couple of days ago, getting home by 1.4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Steps up a level but he is capable of another big run. PERSIAN EMPIRE (4) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1m1f at Morphettville, beaten 3 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
