Race 5 No.1 – Knight Dancer
KNIGHT DANCER finished midfield when resuming at Morphettville recently and has improvement to come. What brings him into calculations is his strong record here at Clare. His two career wins have both come at this track and distance. From the wide barrier he may end up back in the running and need luck, but in these conditions and with the right run he looks well placed.
Selections: 1. Knight Dancer
Suggested Bet: Win
Race 7 No.1 – Longer Route
LONGER ROUTE looks every chance to find his peak here in The Clare Cup. He is third-up rising to the 1800m trip after being competitive behind the handy Dual Pressure, who started well in the market in a strong final yesterday. Longer Route brings the superior form lines and maps for an economical run just off the speed.
Selections: 1. Longer Route
Suggested Bet: Win
