RUSSIAN DANCER (2) has had two runs since a break, the latest a 12th over 7f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has a strong record at the third run in so he looks the testing material. SAN LUCIDO (4) finished third two runs back at Gawler then improved last time out to score by a long neck over 1m at Morphettville. Alan Lai scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. DIVINE FIRE (3) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. That followed a run of two wins on end. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. Lay-off. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
