PROSPERINA (10) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. DERBY DOWNS (2) hit the frame two starts ago at Balaklava but ran below par last time when 12th and beaten 7 lengths over 7½f at Gawler. Won't find this as tough so he can find the winners' list. CORK HARBOUR (15) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks, beaten only 0.6 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ROYAL TRAPEZE (1) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by a head over 6f at Strathalbyn. Solid top-three prospects.
