Race 4 No.1 I'm A Dexstar
I'm A Dexstar has been competitive in stronger races in his first two runs this prep, so he will be well suited here dropping back in grade and returning to his home track, where he has an impressive record (6:3-0-2). He is set to peak now third up and has previously won third up. Looks very well placed.
Race 9 No.4 The Wirrulla Boy
The Wirrulla Boy is similar to his stablemate and will be well suited dropping back in grade. He gets his best chance returning to his home track, where he has produced the best runs of his career. He has never missed the top three at Port Lincoln (5:3-1-1), so he should appreciate this set up.
