Verdict

SMOTHER (4) is a former Maher trained galloper having first start for new yard. Has placed one of seven runs but this is the easiest assignment to date. Best ratings are a bit above these so expected to go close if presented on song. EMOTIVE (6) started huge odds at debut and led until the final few hops when just tipped out at Gawler. Drawn the rails and expected to take catching again. JURA VAUDOIS (8) has had plenty of tries but recorded six minors. Holder goes aboard and has good speed so likely to be in this for a long way. RULED BY THIEVES (2) has been safely held in far richer maidens lately at Morphettville. Better off here and can improve sharply. ILLUSTRATES (7) was safely held on debut then improved at second outing when midfield. Has the claim and with further improvement can sneak into the finish.
