RACE 1 - 12:22PM Weslo Security Handicap (1200 METRES)

Interesting race, FOX GEM was an eye-catcher on debut when held-up for a smooth run in the straight behind Water Into Wine. You could argue she would have won with the same run as the winner, and she should be right in the finish here. DESIRED also won at Murray Bridge on the same day and steps up in journey here, but the form was franked midweek, and she has solid claims again. SAMESYN was well backed and led them up when only run down late in the race won by Water Into Wine at Murray Bridge and is going to give them something to chase. WHEELS OF COURAGE is a winner this track and trip and trialled OK behind Quietly Discreet here on Monday.

SELECTIONS: 4 FOX GEM, 3 Desired, 6 Samesyn

PLAY: Keen on FOX GEM here.

 

RACE 2 - 12:57PM Dominant Handicap (1525 METRES)

WATER INTO WINE comes off a good win on debut when she was able to angle out and get over the top of rivals at Murray Bridge. She should get every chance here from barrier two. EYES NEVER LIE has won three races and just missed behind Angel Like last time. She draws out but looks well placed here and the extra trip shouldn’t be an issue. DINGABLEDINGA got the job done well second-up back in class at Oakbank last time. He must be respected and the step up in distance suits. RUN AND TELL put together two wins in provincial company before a handy effort behind Angel Like at Murray Bridge last time and gets some relief with the claim. Stablemate BELL OF YORKES has upside and was well backed last time when she got back and failed to make an impressive at Murray Bridge behind Angel Like.

SELECTIONS: 2 WATER INTO WINE, 3 Eyes Never Lie, 4 Dingbledinga, 6 Belle Of Yorkes

PLAY: WATER INTO WINE maps perfectly in an open race.

 

RACE 3 - 1:32PM Furphy Handicap (1200 METRES)

LIANNE is flying in SA since joining Jordan Frew and has been super impressive coming off the speed and winning softly on her home track at Murray Bridge. She draws a middle gate and there is no reason why she can’t win again. LADY SIMONE was well support to jump favourite when 2nd behind Lady Dunmore at Gawler last week. She draws wide but has no weight on her back and can bounce back on a better surface. LEGIONNAIRE should appreciate the drop in class here coming off an OK Flemington effort leading when 12th behind Nicolini Vito. TAKEN OFF is a former local now with Aaron Peterson at Ballarat, has a good fresh record and has won three of nine here. VIEIRA comes off two solid 2nd placings and draws a good gate.

SELECTIONS: 5 LIANNE, 7 Lady Simone, 2 Legionnaire, 1 Taken Off

PLAY: Backing LIANNE at the price.

 

RACE 4 - 2:07PM TAB Adelaide Cup Day - Monday March 14 Handicap (1100 METRES)

SPIN THE REWARD has a nice form line beating Hello Ladies before chasing home Calypso Reign and Smokin’ Val who would both run favourite here. His fresh record is solid, and he should be right in the finish. ULTIMATE VICTORY came off the speed to run down Secret War and subsequent winner Cool Magnum at Gawler last time. The race maps well for him with some good tempo, the drop back in distance shouldn’t be an issue. SECRET WAR led and looked to have his chance behind Ultimate Victory last time and he does meet the winner better at the weights. PARIANO should appreciate the drop in class here and he was good behind Tequila Time at Murray Bridge last time. SPELMAN jumped out well before an OK first-up run but has trialled nicely since.

SELECTIONS: 4 SPIN THE REWARD, 6 Ultimate Victory, 2 Secret War, 1 Pariano

PLAY: Betting around SPIN THE REWARD and ULTIMATE VICTORY.

 

RACE 5 - 2:42PM Grand Syndicates - Join Team Grand Handicap (1600 METRES)

Another very competitive race. BEA TEMPTED is a former Victorian now with David Jolly and liked the way she got the job done at Murray Bridge coming from off the speed and rounding rivals up easily. She draws a nice gate, gets a claim and should be hard to beat. SACCHARO has been placed at both runs here and comes off a good effort behind Picaroon last time. TRADEWIND regained winning form three starts back and his two runs since have been solid. PEARL BANDIT should be ready to fire after two runs back from a spell. He’s only missed a place once this track and rip and should get a nice run behind the speed.

SELECTIONS: 2 BEA TEMPTED, 3 Saccharo, 7 Tradewind

PLAY: Keen on BEA TEMPTED on soft last-start win.

 

RACE 6 - 3:22PM Fleurieu Milk Company Handicap (1600 METRES)

Tricky race. MORTY was good running 3rd behind Montign at Gawler last week. He’s only won two of 15 but looks suited in a race like this. YURI ROYALE won well first-up at Strathalbyn before looking a touch disappointing there behind Ambidazzle last time. AUSSIE SOJOURN was a good winner at Strathalbyn on the same day and draws a nice barrier. COYOTE was good running 2nd behind Chromium at Gawler last start. CROWLEY’S CREEK made good ground behind Zip Akeed at Oakbank and draws an inside gate. MODRIC has been around the mark. RIPCORD has had one run back since running in last year’s Adelaide Cup. He draws a good gate and could be a big improver.

SELECTIONS: 4 MORTY, 5 Yuri Royale, 7 Aussie Sojourn, 8 Coyote

PLAY: Giving MORTY another chance here.

 

RACE 7 - 4:02PM The Junction Handicap (1800 METRES)

MONTIGN is racing in very good form and made it back-to-back Gawler wins thriving on a soft track there last week. Getting up in trip should hold no fears and he’ll get a gun run from barrier two. Barend Vorster has jumped off to ride the McEvoy’s CUBAN STATE who was narrowly beaten by Picaroon three starts back and comes off an OK Warrnambool run behind Angel Rock. REDWOOD SHADOW has a good record and won at Warrnambool over the 1700m two starts back before being beaten 3.2 lengths at Flemington last time. He draws an inside gate and looks nicely placed here. Fellow Victorian IRISH PLAYBOY was well backed to run favourite and made good ground behind Resurge last time. He drops in trip but is going to be in the mix here. CHARLTON got the money at a big price last time and draws well, AFRICAN AWESOME ran 2nd in the same race.

SELECTIONS: 6 MONTIGN, 5 Cuban State, 3 Redwood Shadow

 

RACE 8 - 4:42PM Durbridge Stakes (1100 METRES)

Bookmakers are being kind here with the $1.80 on offer for BEHEMOTH. He’s a dual G1 winner who won this race against a similar field last year by three lengths. He trialled nicely without being asked to do a lot on Monday and is five from nine first-up, never been out of the top two in five runs this track and trip. Sure he’s going to need the run, but class should see him winning. KEMALPASA is the obvious danger, he has won 12 races and more the $1m and finished 2nd in this race last year. He usually takes a run to really find his grove and draws a sticky barrier. KENYAN WONDER could be a knockout her best is good enough if she gets a nice run and the speed on. MORVADA is a nice horse but placed just once in 10 first-up runs and 0-9 this track and trip. CHAMPAGNE DREAMS has come back well but this is a big jump in class. PREZADO has been down the track his past few but in solid Melbourne form race.

SELECTIONS: 1 BEHEMOTH, 2 Kemalpasa, 7 Kenyan Wonder

PLAY: Think BEHEMOTH should $1.50!

 

RACE 9 - 5:22PM Happy 50th Tim Phelan Handicap (1200 METRES)

SPARKUP was a good winner first-up from a spell and then got back at Gawler and never really looked like winning when 5th behind Fighting McLaren. He’s never missed a place in four starts here, draws a middle barrier, and looks hard to beat. MISS LANGRTY is a horse on the up winning three straight races at Strathalbyn and was scratched from the soft conditions at Gawler last week. GALAXY KEEPER caught the eye behind Desired at Murray Bridge last time. Victorian horseman Enver Jusufovic brings two horses here. OBI was well tried when 4th at Cranbourne making good ground form the back and not having much luck before the turn while LADY SILVAIR was a Warracknabeal winner two starts back before being beaten 2.95 lengths at Benalla last time. 

SELECTIONS: 5 SPARKUP, 6 Miss Langtry,, 9 Galaxy Keeper

PLAY: Feel SPARKUP can bounce back here.
