Verdict

BULLS ON PARADE (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at Oakbank. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. STREETCAR APOLLO (7) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when narrowly beaten into second over 1200m at Murray Bridge. Rates well off that and looms as a major threat. GRUELLING (3) finished third over 1600m at Morphettville at his most recent appearance on December 13. This looks a suitable first up assignment and has to be kept safe. Stablemate CUBAN WATERS (5) drops back in grade and appears the next in line.

Going well. At the latest run came from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Oakbank Bm56 on February 13 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Navy Gold carrying 61kg at $2.20. Before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Horsham Bm64 on February 4 over 1400m, slow going 0.5 len behind Oak Park Rebel with 57kg at $3.90. Definite chance.

Second-up. First-up after five months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Murray Bridge Cl2 on February 5 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Press Express carrying 55.5kg at $3.50. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 11 at Murray Bridge Bm56 on May 15 over 900m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Startide with 60.5kg at $7.50. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Useful gelding. At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Morphettville Parks Bm70 on February 1 over 1000m, 6 len behind Pure Bliss with 52kg at $31. The race before that 8th of 10 at Penola Bm68 on January 17 over 1075m, 6 len behind Dreamzel carrying 57kg at $18. Hard to fault if at his best.
