FRANCE'S BOY lines up his 175th start in this race. If he can get an easy lead, he will give them something to catch. After Sophie Potter's claim, he'll carry 58kg. ROBERT THE PUSS was good at Mount Gambier two starts ago, then not suited by the rise in grade in town. He can improve but he finds it hard to win. I RUN ON AIR resented the kickback at Port Augusta when resuming. He trialled okay prior to that. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM raced on the pace at Bordertown second-up, only fading late to finish in fourth. He needs some give in the ground to be competitive.
