BELLEZZA NERA (10) finished third as the $1.25 favourite last start, beaten 5.5 metres at Port Pirie over 2050m after racing three-wide without cover at the bell. No favours expected from this draw. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player. BUBBA SCRUB (3) settled close to the pace then surged to the lead and went right on with the job to score over 1800m race at this track last start, arriving 3 metres ahead of his rivals at his first run back from a break. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better field but he is fitter and up to the task. MY ROCKY ROMANCE (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2230m at this track. NANCESTIGER (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 9 metres at this track over 2230m. Include in combinations.
