Got the prize when winning last run at the track. Maintaining a perfect record the last 3 attempts. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Well respected contender.
Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a Special conditions race last start at this track, recording a lightning 29.72 for the 530m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
Arguabaly the FASTEST dog on this planet and he was beyond impressive in breaking the TR two weeks ago. He's not reliable early though, that's my worry on him.

Bold effort to win last start at this venue. Should be going forward early. Very competitive this preparation. Strong prospects.
Dominant winner to score by 9 lengths in a OPEN last start at this track, recording a lightning 30.12 for the 530m journey. Expected to feature if runs up to that effort.
Both starts here have been enormous and he's a genuine chance here. Must clear the #1 off the mat but if he does he will be rail hard and be very strong late.

Barrier 1 · Trainer Shayne Williams · 30.9kg · Form 2112648221
Model win 10.94 · place 2.32
Finished on top last start here and has drawn to do little work. Will be positive in the run early. Been in the money on multiple occasions this preparation. Betting is the best guide.
Strong performance to win by 6 lengths at this track over 530m (30.32) beating Crocodile Roll in OPEN on October 1. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.
Did everything right in his heat to land a sharp win. Will be strong throughout and he gets the best draw he can to try and land G1 glory for the Shayne Train!
Was all too good winning last start here. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Solid claims.
Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 530m at this track (30.31,) beating Sinaloa Bandit. Query squeeze box draw. Has clocked a scorching 30.15 here at this trip. Leading player.
Got done for pace in his heat but he was just too strong and still surged past late. He's capable but where he lands with the fave underneath is a big question.

Barrier 7 · Trainer Corey White · 30.1kg · Form 8226358111
Model win 21.78 · place 3.35
Solid win last start at the track. Flawless this campaign with 3 wins from 3 starts. Should muster plenty of early speed. Could feature here.
Won his last three in a row including a strong win last start over 530m at this track by 1.75 lengths in a OPEN. Should be around the mark.
Caught a few off guard with his electric heat win. His back split was hot and he has a lethal turn of foot. Can tag the #6 across and could get some luck!
Barrier 6 · Trainer Petar Jovanovic · 26.5kg · Form 1316114532
Model win 76.12 · place 6.74
Ran 2nd last time here and showing improvement in recent outings. Expecting to settle positively. Tracking very well this preparation. Will need to lift.
Has placed the last couple. Ran 30.50 when second at this track latest but the run prior she clocked a solid 30.63 over 530m finishing third at this track. Has ability but looks tested here.
Faultless run in her heat when darting across to a clear lead early and then tiring late. She's a few lengths off these but could give a sight she if crosses.
Got the cash when winning last time at the track and strong form at the distance. Likely to be well placed early. Will try to take advantage of the box. Place hope.
In sparkling form, last time showing brilliant early pace and proving too slick around this track over 530m in 30.67, making it three wins on end. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.
Great effort to win first up off a long spell. Time was slow for his heat but he will be fiiter. Will be a masterstroke if Butcher makes it two straight cups!
Barrier 9 · Trainer Tamica Dunn · 31.7kg · Form 2314431212
Honest race when 2nd last run at the track and proven runner at this trip.
Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Gawler over 531m in 30.96. Followed that up with a minor placing over 530m at this track at OPEN eight days ago. Looks up against it this time.
Solid heat run when working home strongly. Giving away plenty to these and he would need a lot of luck if he runs. A lower draw would be best.

Ran well when 2nd last start here.
Finished second last start (30.78) at big odds over 530m at this track. Has to do a bit more.
Worked home well in his his to land a spot as the reserve for the final. Has a few lengths to find if he's to match it with some of these.

MEPUNGA ENVY (4) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and one placing from three starts. Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (30.31) in a OPEN over 530m at this track.

WRONGLY ACCUSED (3) Scored a victory last run around here. Keeping a perfect win record the last 3 starts. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. MEPUNGA ENVY (4) Did a good job when winning last start here. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Respect. LIKE A ROCK (2) Landed the spoils when winning last start at this track. Has plenty of early speed. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Key player. KING NANGAR (1) Displayed potential when winning last start at the track and can save some energy from the box. Has early speed and positions nicely. Going well this preparation. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope.

Adelaide Cup time! I hold reservations about WRONGLY ACCUSED (3) from the boxes but the draw is just too good. Two slowish beginners outside and a keen railer in #2, what a great chance for him to put on a show. Gets the job done! LIKE A ROCK (2) is flying, big chance if the #3 has a mishap. INTIMIDATION (7) is a smokey to work around early.
