SCINTILLANTE (6) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 7f at Pakenham. Must raise the bar but a better run will not surprise. DUBAI FOCUS (1) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by 1.75 lengths over 7f at Morphettville Parks. Winning rider Jason Holder retains the mount. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is one of the chief contenders. DARKNCONFIDENTIAL (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1m at this track. This sets up nicely. SNOOPY NOW (3) finished third last time over 6¼f at Morphettville Parks when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0.8 lengths. Capable of another bold effort.
