Group 1 placegetter AIR ASSAULT (1) scored last start over 1m in the LR Balaklava Cup making a total of 6 career wins out of 19 runs. Claim helps offset the weight rise and can measure up again. SECOND TO NUN (2) was well held last time in stakes class, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m in the LR Balaklava Cup. Rochelle Milnes has a good strike rate aboard this five-year-old mare so sharp improvement will not surprise. JACK THE LAD (4) resumed over 6f at Morphettville last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by a nose. PUDDING (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Balaklava, beaten 6 lengths into tenth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
