A SAMURAI MIND (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third in the LR C S Hayes Memorial Cup at this track over 1m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and is right in this. EPISODIC (5) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over this journey in the LR C S Hayes Memorial Cup at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. RUBAMOS (1) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at Morphettville Parks, beaten 1.1 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. PRINCE ERIC (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Echuca, beaten 2.75 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
