Verdict

MEAN MAZZLE (4) has the strongest exposed profile after placing two starts back at Morphettville and then finishing fifth there in Saturday company when near the top of betting. He is third-up, has placed at this distance and track, and the easier meeting level gives him a good chance to break through. DASHING RED STAR (1) is the main danger if the first-time blinkers sharpen him, as his debut third at Gawler reads well and last start at this track was tougher after he was forced wide and raced wide throughout. BAILAR (12) brings no race experience but has won a Murray Bridge trial, draws barrier 2 and gets Jason Holder, the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track. SOCIAL DANCER (9) has a long maiden record, yet five placings from ten tries around this distance and a 7lbs claim keep her in the place mix if she improves second-up.
