SANTASTICO (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten a neck, over 6f at Ballarat Synthetic. Should settle handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. SOLAR BLAST (8) finished 1.4 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks, an improvement on his when resuming ninth at Gawler the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KOMACHI (1) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 7f at Morphettville Parks. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. PORTATION (3) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into seventh over 5½f at Murray Bridge. Fitter so a likely improver.
