Morphettville

TIPPA (2) has raced twice since a nine-week break and impressed on both occasions. Sat just behind the leading division then closed well to grab third in the Listed Balaklava Cup over 1600m last start. Will be cherry ripe now and the extra furlong is ideal - he has won twice and placed once in three goes at 1800m. ON THE SCENT (10) rarely runs a bad race. Stalked the leader then fought hard but had to settle for second last time out over 1950m at the Parks track. Draws a better gate today and is well in after the claim. Looks the obvious threat. CRIMSON VINE (3) found 1536m a bit slick when resuming recently. Ran second to The Map in the QE2 Cup in May. Still needs further but at this stage of the prep he is capable of troubling this field. MOTORACE (12) is racing well. Comes here off a seven-week let-up so he might need the run but can sneak into the top three. DUAL FUEL (5) ran on late when resuming over a shorter journey last time. Likely improver.
