Previously second-up led to the turn then faded 6th of 9 at Morphettville Parks 2yo (Bm64) on May 29 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Garrire carrying 57kg at $15. Must improve significantly.

Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Gawler 3yo (Bm62) on December 18 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Star Espresso with 58kg at $12. Before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 10 at Gawler F&M (Bm62) on December 1 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Gogolf Guru with 59kg at $5.50. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at Port Lincoln 3yo Mdn December 10 over 1000m defeating So Silent with 53.5kg at $8.50. This race looks too tough.

HURTLE (1) wears the blinkers now. He has run some competitive races in Melbourne. Anything like his best there has to go mighty close in this type of race. STAR ESPRESSO (3) is a very consistent filly this time in. She did well to score last start at Gawler. The winkers are now applied too. CHAMPAGNE DREAMS (2) fought on well to win last month. She might have come back a better horse. THEY CALL ME ALVIN (4) did win first up at this track. Should get a good run too. BRAZEN BOY (5) will show speed once again.
Last start won by 2.5 len at Naracoorte (Bm64) December 27 over 2000m defeating Mavourneen carrying 60kg at $4. Before that overraced early, middle stages; 5th of 8 at Gawler (Bm76) on December 18 over 2100m, 2.5 len behind Fighter carrying 53kg at $6.50. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.

The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at Gawler (Bm64) December 1 over 2121m defeating Happy Atom with 54kg at $6.50. Went close last time. Leading player again.

The run before that 4th of 11 at Bordertown (Bm58) on December 12 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Armament carrying 55.5kg at $16. Among the winning hopes on best form.

At the latest run keen and eased concluding stages; 3rd of 8 at Gawler (Bm76) on December 18 over 2100m, 1.3 len behind Fighter with 52kg at $101. The start before that wide throughout; second last of 12 at Morphettville (Bm78) on November 27 over 2500m, 17 len behind Wertheimer carrying 51kg at $201. This looks too tough.

SHEEZABIGDEEL (3) won't be far away and should tough this out nicely. She is bred to love the trip and should be ready to peak now. Must be hard to beat in this. BRONSKI (2) has put two solid runs back to back. He has clearly needed ground. ALL HARD WOOD (1) will set up the tempo and can run it to suit himself. You'd think he would have no issues getting over longer. TURF MAN (4) needs to lift but is dropping in weight. SENTRY GATE (7) could get into the placings again.
Three-year-old gelding first-starter by Danbird out of Pinsofjoy. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer others.

STARS THE LIMIT (3) showed nice enough ability at his first two outings. He came from well back in those when fancied. The market will say if there has been improvement. KASAMI (6) hasn't raced at metro level but this is hardly a strong event anyway. The gear changes have gone on now. REDWINELOVER (10) has sat forward at every start. Will have the light weight again. SAINT OLGA (7) will also have plenty of speed. The last bit is the issue. TUPOLEU (4) had nothing go right second time around. He could do more. Watch the debutants.
Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up laid out on straightening; raced on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Morphettville Parks (Bm68) on November 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; nose behind Appalachian with 59.5kg at $12. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Morphettville Parks (Bm82) December 4 over 1000m defeating Thompson's Reward with 54.5kg at $4.80. Definite winning chance.

HEKA EXPRESS (1) came from midfield to score second up. That was a month back and she likes it on the fresh side. No reason in this company that she can't do it again. DANTREE (9) is racing well too. She just has to bring that to a BM72. PARIANO (2) is a value player after being in the betting her last outing. Might get forgotten in the market. TANJA'S DREAM (7) always shows speed and has built a lovely record. The short course is the key. MODEAR (3) comes off a Flemington effort which was OK. Can't be left out either.
Second run back. First-up after two months held up near 500m; 9th of 11 at Flemington 3yo+ (Bm84) on December 18 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind High 'N' Dry carrying 53kg at $17. Previously second-up settled well back; won by a head at Sandown-Hillside 3yo+ (Bm78) September 8 over 1800m defeating Emissary carrying 53.5kg at $41. Fitter and worth including.

Before that favourite; won by 5.5 len at Penola (Bm72) December 3 over 2100m defeating Steven James with 57.5kg at $2.80. Likely to play a big role.

Second run from a spell raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at Morphettville (Bm68) December 26 over 1600m defeating Lake's Folly carrying 56kg at $17. Expected to perform well.

Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Third-up today and won third-up previously.

STEALTHY LUCAS (3) is value coming off his last effort. He is bred to want even further and must have done well on the quick back up. Hard to see why he was those odds early. VARDANI (4) though is tough to beat if he goes there. He won with ease at Warrnambool. Is well placed if he's in Adelaide. TRADEWIND (7) is in a similar boat. He did put them away two weeks ago even if in a lower grade. WERTHEIMER (5) will stick right on but back in trip isn't the easiest. RUNBRO (2) could place again. BEA TEMPTED (1) is the other strong contender but will get back.
Racing well. Most recently won by a nose at Albury (Bm58) December 11 over 1600m defeating Wise Dragon with 59.5kg at $3.80.

Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.

KUNG FU FIGHTING (7) did a lovely job to win his first time to the track at this course. He should thrive on getting over even further and the gap between runs won't hurt. NOT ALONE (5) will be getting a soft run in transit from his low draw. The claim is a positive too. OATH OF OMERTA (6) is an interesting one first up. He didn't do much last campaign but went into tougher races. This is nowhere near those opponents. PERSIAN EMPIRE (8) must have had decent excuses to be beaten so far as he was consistent prior to that. CRYPTO CURRENCY (3) could have some fans. He should be ready to peak now.
Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after seven months won by a nose at Morphettville Parks (Bm68) November 20 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Heka Express with 56.5kg at $8.50.

RISING SPHERE (1) may not be a part of that early pressure this time but can charge the last bit. Has to be considered at his best form. APPALACHIAN (2) did look good winning when resuming. He rattled from last to score on the Parks track. There will be ample pace here to do the same thing. SEA WITNESS (5) is another who would be fast out but draws wide. Would be shorter bar for that gate. SELF SUFFICIENT (6) has run into some decent horses of late. He would love a wet track. DESIRED (12) did win her only time this course and distance.

The 3kg claim won't be enough to put her into contention.

The race before that got back early 7th of 9 at Morphettville (Bm60) on October 30 over 1530m, 3 len behind Jaamint with 58.5kg at $7.50. Even the minor placings look out of reach.

LAKE'S FOLLY (4) would love there to be speed. He gets back and looks for runs and despite the drop back of a furlong, he'll still be hitting the line. POINT BLAZE (8) can't be that far away herself. She ran a race in one of these two back. Just wants a sweet run with the extra ground this time. MAY BE FATE (5) has come out of some decent form races of late. Just might have found the mile that bit far three weeks ago. VANCITY GEM (12) will sit off the back of the pace here and find the post. A drier track would help her cause. SPECTACLE (9) does enjoy the 1400m.
Resumes off a 35 day let-up. Last start laid in in the straight; 2nd of 8 at Morphettville (Bm60) on November 27 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Lady Dunmore carrying 59kg at $31.

BETTA EDDIE (6) has won here before and his style won't harm either. Hoping barrier one isn't a drawback though. JOURNEY TO PETRA (5) will show speed again. Did have some excuses at Gawler. LIANNE (13) keeps finding the placings without winning. Could easily happen once again. COOL MAGNUM (4) is one to watch. You'd think the 1200m is too short but he will be strong late.
