Verdict

FIORONA (10) has the right profile to take another step third-up after winning her Mdn at this track by three and a half lengths, then finishing second as favourite in a Class 1 at Morphettville when beaten just under a length. She has already beaten Think Lu Bella through that latest line and comes back from Saturday company into an easier meeting, which makes her the one to beat. FLOSSING (2) is the seasoned danger, having placed at his past two in BM62 grade at Morphettville and bringing a strong record at this distance. THINK LU BELLA (11) was fourth in the same Class 1 race as Fiorona first-up, with some early interference and a 3lbs claim now in play, so she can improve second-up. OUI OUI MA CHERIE (7) was beaten a nose at Murray Bridge last start after racing wide throughout, and third-up fitness gives her a genuine chance to hold that form.

10	Made the right impression winning a Mdn at this track two starts ago, beating Pocket Pyro by three and a half lengths with something in hand, then backed it up with second in a Class 1 at Morphettville from Saturday company. She was favourite there and beaten just under a length by Prince Magnetite, while still travelling well into the race. Third-up, in form and the one they have to beat. 1st Pick 10 Fiorona Jockey: Teagan Voorham Trainer: Gordon Richards & Damien Moyle J: Teagan Voorham T: Gordon Richards & Damien Moyle	98	-	-	-	23%	7/2

2	Comes through strong Saturday company form, finishing second in a BM62 at Morphettville last start when beaten just over half a length after covering ground. He had also closed off strongly for third there on soft ground the run prior. Proven at the mile and a strong winning hope. 2nd Pick 2 Flossing Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Garret Lynch J: Non Runner T: Garret Lynch	140	-	-	-	11%	17/2

11	Resumed with a sound fourth in a Class 1 at Morphettville, beaten just over three lengths after settling back, covering ground and being bumped at the start. Her previous run was before a break, when second last in a BM62 at Murray Bdge after jumping awkwardly. Second-up with a claim, she can improve into the finish. 3rd Pick 11 Think Lu Bella Jockey: Tala Hutchinson Trainer: Dan Clarken & Oopy Macgillivray J: Tala Hutchinson T: Dan Clarken & Oopy Macgillivray	108	-	-	-	7%	14/1
