Verdict

TI TREE ROYAL (1) did a good job last start to finish third at Port Augusta over 7 ½f, beaten 1.2 lengths. Top chance. TERRITORIAN (2) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1 ¹/16m at Gawler when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Sarah Rutten stable. Kept up to the mark with a recent Murray Bridge trial. Solid chance for the new barn. PRIVATE JET (5) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing effort last time at Mt Gambier five-and-a-half weeks ago. Can bounce back sharply. THOUGHTFUL (9) was much better last time at Donald when chasing gamely into second. Is open to further improvement fourth-up and is worth considering. UNWIND (11) warmed nicely late first-up after getting a mile back. Kept fresh with six weeks between and is one to keep in mind.
