CRAFTY BOSS (2) found the line strongly last time when fourth over 1m at Camperdown. Extra journey a plus and is worth following up. HIT THE SLOPES (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.2 lengths over 1m2f at Naracoorte after being prominent at the bend. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. JOHNNY CIGAR (15) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3.5 lengths away in third after he got a long way back in the run over 1m at Penola. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. DAD'S DREAM (3) accounted for a maiden field over 1m at Penola last start, finishing 0.6 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Jacob Opperman was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
