Verdict

Happy to stick with SPACE RIDER (1) who was a sharp winner here first up, coming clear late after trailing the speed in good time. Had the favours there but he's always promised plenty, dominant on debut which saw him a leading Magic Millions 2yo Classic chance which he failed to make the field for. Sets up for a similarly good run here and can repeat the dose. BESKAR (4) resumes, boasting some strong formlines last time in. Third, beaten under half a length in the G3 Kindergarten Stakes when first up last time in reads well for this and Shinn goes aboard. PLANET RED (6) has done nothing wrong in two winning starts to date, beating a good one on debut and too strong as favourite last time. Can measure up. BACASH (2) was dominant at short odds winning at Morphettville Parks last time and maps ideally. Wary of ROSBERG (9) who debuts for the sharp yard off some very nice jumpout form.

Colt by Deep Field facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on August 18 at Cranbourne when finished fifth. Has jumped out well and must respect stable pitching him here.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 4.5 len win at Seymour Mdn-Sw August 15 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Land Bank carrying 57kg at $1.55.

Second-up. Promising on debut as favourite; won by 0.8 len at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw May 22 over 1200m defeating Observer carrying 58kg at $12.

Impossible to knock. Can measure right up.
