GOLDRUSH GURU (1) opened this prep with a couple of wins over 1250m then stepped up to 1550m last start but found Talisay too good on the Parks circuit. Will take a bit from that hit-out and Johnstone's 3kg claim is a big help. TALISAY (4) took a sit then quickened impressively to win a BM68 over 1550m on the Parks track last time. Meets Goldrush Guru 4kgs worse for a two-length margin so she might need to improve a little to win again. Maiden ATHANATOS (2) has been in the money at all five runs this prep, the latest over 1420m at Flemington as a $2.15 favourite. Expect that form to stack up in Adelaide so he gets his chance. DARKNCONFIDENTIAL (3) dominated in a Murray Bridge maiden recently. Faces a much stiffer test today but he is heading the right way. STAR CASINO (5) would need to improve at least ten lengths to beat any of these home.
