SABAJ (4) resumed over 6f at this track last start and after showing little early speed closed hard to score by a neck. Should be in the finish again. ROGUERY (1) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only 1.3 lengths, over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside. Drawn out but does go back and work into his races. Will prove hard to hold out. THE GOLDEN FIST (6) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a third at Strathalbyn two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths last time out over 7f at Murray Bridge. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another bold race. STRATUM PRIDE (8) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.4 lengths back in fifth over 7f at Morphettville Parks. Deserves to break through and cannot be underestimated.
