Verdict

IMMORTAL SPIRIT (2) is the one to beat off a sound recent platform, with a Halidon BM52 win two starts back and the key rider-horse record of two wins from five with Caitlyn Munro aboard. The quick back-up and 4lbs claim both help him rebound from a plain sixth at Murray Bridge. GOOCHEE GAL (5) comes through Saturday company after finishing third at Morphettville at long odds, beaten a length and a half, and she is proven at this distance. Can give this a shake. TORRITA (8) has the strongest track-and-distance profile, with one win and two placings from three attempts at this track and distance, and her latest third here was full of merit. Include. THE ICE CUTTER (10) has to turn around a recent Halidon defeat by Immortal Spirit, but weight relief, Brooke King returning and a solid record at this venue keep him firmly in the winning discussion.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
2	Backs up quickly after a fair sixth at Murray Bdge, where he sat close enough but lacked the dash to threaten. His Halidon BM52 win the start prior was stronger, beating Lysander as favourite, and he also beat The Ice Cutter there. Sets the standard and can bounce back. 1st Pick 2 Immortal Spirit Jockey: Caitlyn Munro Trainer: George Karayannis J: Caitlyn Munro T: George Karayannis	94	-	-	-	14%	13/2

5	Eased from Saturday company after a solid Class 1 third at Morphettville, where she was beaten a length and a half at long odds and struck some interference in the straight. Her BM64 run over 1m the week before was plain, but this distance suits better on her record. Looks one of the main dangers despite a wide draw. 2nd Pick 5 Goochee Gal Jockey: Jake Toeroek Trainer: Heath Montgomerie J: Jake Toeroek T: Heath Montgomerie	174	-	-	-	8%	12/1

8	Closed into third at this track in a Class 1 last start, beaten a length, and the rise back to 7 ½f is supported by her record: one win and three placings from four attempts around this trip. She was also not far away at Murray Bdge two back despite starting favourite and meeting some trouble. Last-start third says she is ready. 3rd Pick 8 Torrita Jockey: Alysha Warren Trainer: Stuart Padman J: Alysha Warren T: Stuart Padman	97	-	-	-	25%	3/1
