CHEF MILITAIRE is knocking on the door placed behind Spitfire Sun at Gawler last time and the winner has done so again since. CALL IT QUITS worked home well on debut and the jump in trip should suit.

SNIPERS NIGHTMARE was good running 2nd behind Sixteen Reasons at Gawler before he weakened behind Spitfire Sun. BANDICOOT ran well first-up behind Clarence at Balaklava.

INAGURATE was good running 2nd behind Vengeance at Gawler before another good effort in city class when 5th beaten 1.9 behind Tres Belle, the runner-up Braveman’sgame has won since, and she should give this a shake. PRICILLA’S CHOICE finished just of her in the same race when 3rd. Her first-up run was OK when 4th in the Vengeance race at Gawler and that pair should be somewhere in the finish. DARE TO BE FREE was runner-up here behind Aikhal before another solid effort at Gawler behind Velvet Star last week. ONE DASH is in the Clarken/O’Shea stable and was plain first-up in SA and has had the two trials in preparation for this.

MADAM FURPHY followed up a good run when 2nd behind Fly The Line here by winning at Balaklava last time beating RIZSKI. FIELDS OF ATHENRY has the talent and strips fitter for two runs back, the latest beaten 4.9 lengths behind Suzido at Morphettville. She could be a big improver here. WANALOAN was placed twice before running 4th behind Disco Tilmorn here. She’s four weeks between runs and can be in the mix. DASKULYA was a winner here first-up last time in work and can run a cheeky race. CHEEKY CHEEKYBELLA comes off a good run when 3rd behind Lonrodex and looks an improver second-up. ROCK HARD comes off a Balaklava win beating Magic Delta and must be respected again. KUSHAN KHANIVALE comes off a good effort when 3rd behind Midnight Rush at Gawler.

SIX FOOT SONG was good winning here three starts back and then placed up in grade behind Exalted Fire. He was OK behind Flyway last time and should give this a shake.

MICKLEWHITE has been good running 2nd his past two, the latest behind Bellavardo at Balaklava and gets his chance from an inside gate. LOVE FROM LUCY comes off a Balaklava win beating MYSTIC KNOT and that pair should run well here. LOMAX is capable of putting in a big run on his day, he was a Gawler winner three starts back beating Flyway. DINGABLEDINGA was a winner here tow starts back and then OK when 5th behind Orbital Express at Morphettville. AUSSIE SOJOURN comes off a soft Roxby Downs Cup win.

FOX DUNNETT has been bursting to win a race. He was good behind Merchant Boss at Morphettville two run back and then again good at Balaklava behind Tales Of Confllict at Balaklava. The bigger track should suit. COMMANDER MEROO wasn’t far away running 4th behind Headphones here last time and that’s solid form for a race like this. JIVE BABY was narrowly beaten here two runs back and then OK behind Katim’s Club at Balaklava. LEON’S SHOUT draws out but has a good first-up record. IN THE DARKNESS is an interesting watch first-up for Matt Seyers. She’s shown some ability but is likely to need this and further. ARCHWAY TO HEAVEN has been runner-up his past two the latest behind Sandsation at Roxby Downs. CLOSED VAULT was a Balaklava winner last year.
SELECTIONS: 1 FOX DUNNETT, 4 Commander Meroo, 13 Jive Baby, 2 Leon’s Shout
