COAL RIVER (5) finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in second on debut last start over 5½f at Horsham. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will prove tough to beat. FLICK ROLL (10) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 5½f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. AQUEDUCT (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Murray Bridge, beaten 4 lengths into sixth after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ELLIS BEACH (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 5½f at Horsham. Will find this a little tougher but can figure in the finish.
