Race Tip
HASTA LA FIORENTE (3) returns from a break of four months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1m4 1/2f at Morphettville. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. PRINCE JOFRA (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1m at Morphettville. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will be hard to beat. WILD WILLY (5) was far from disgraced when second last start after being prominent at the turn over 7¾f at Mt Gambier, beaten 0.9 lengths. That followed a win at Murray Bridge the start prior. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. Multiple Group 3 winner EXTRA ELUSIVE (6) returns after a lay-off of nine weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m at Donald. One to consider.
