STRATUM PRIDE (8) turned in a strong run two starts ago at Gawler then failed to back it up over 7f at this track last time, beaten 1.75 lengths into seventh. Coming back in trip suits so a bold showing is expected. TOSEN WATER (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 6f at Gawler, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MANHATTEN TIMES (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at Ballarat over 7f. Jason Holder gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Has the talent to take care of this field. WINE BARRON (6) finished fourth over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks at his most recent appearance on August 17. Has found the right race and is worth including.
