Verdict

I'M A DEXSTAR (5) started at $101 but ran a cheeky race first-up in open company at Morphettville five weeks ago, beaten under four lengths by The Cosmic One who has won four straight. Loves racing here and looks very well in after the claim. Hard to go past. RAIKOKE (1) turned for home last of 15 then passed a few in the straight last time out over 5f at Murray Bridge. A shadow of his old stakes-winning self but in this company a big run is on the cards. Veteran CHEF MILITAIRE (4) has been freshened up since scoring a rare win last time out over 7f at Port Augusta. In the money at four of five runs here so he cannot be ruled out. KOKORO (6) returns from a 20-week spell. Good fresh performer who has trialled twice leading on into this. Can play a big role without surprising. EIRE TO THE JUNGLE (7) has changed stables since leading for home then finishing fourth over 7 ¼f at Tatura four weeks back. One to consider down in the weights.
