Test The Law has been racing well and was back to winning form beating Russian Dancer at Morphettville last week. He draws a nice gate and should give this a shake again. BLAZING REBEL was a Caulfield winner two starts back before being beaten 4.45 lengths behind Commander Harry there last time. He has a good record and should run well. MORTY was an improver back in trip last time when 3rd behind Aitch D'Amico. DAZZLING PROSPECT was well backed here two starts back when he got back and worked home well and was again only getting warm late over 1800m at Morphettville last week behind Rebel Consortium.
