RACE 1 - 1:20PM Yacca Paddock Vineyards - Ted Madigan Memorial Colts, Geldings & Entires Maiden Plate (1200 METRES)
PIERRE DE LUNE was good first-up from a spell when placed behind Anjopin at Gawler. His jump-outs leading in were very good and he’s the one to beat with that run under his belt. ALWAYS SOMETIMES has been placed at 3 of 6 starts here and won a recent Murray Bridge trial. POMPEII EMPIRE was placed behind Press Down at Murray Bridge last time out and he should be in the mix here despite a tricky barrier. FAMOUS PRINCE was good behind Baby Alex at Murray Bridge two starts back before following that with an OK effort behind Press Down there. The blinkers come off and he was runner-up at his only start here.
SELECTIONS: 5 PIERRE DE LUNE, 10 Pompeii Empire, 4 Famous Prince, 2 Blue Pawson
PLAY: Keen on PIERRE DE LUNE each-way.
RACE 2 - 1:55PM Winegrapes Australia - Black Dog Institute Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate (Heat TAB Viddora) (1200 METRES)
TEQUILA SUNSET has been placed at three of her past four the latest behind Killiako at Morphettville on the Parks. She draws well and hard to beat here. SWEET ROCK CANDY got back and closed late to run 2nd at Naracoorte on debut. She draws the inside but should take improvement out of the trip away and that run under her belt. CURRENCY KAMAR trialled OK behind Star Studded Belle at Murray Bridge and looks capable in a race like this. ROUGE RENARDE was placed here in June and can improve. MISS NARRANGA trialled OK but would need to improve on her only two starts.
SELECTIONS: 9 TEQUILA SUNSET, 8 Sweet Rock Candy, 10 Currency Kamar, 7 Rouge Renarde
PLAY: Something on CURRENCY KAMAR 1/4 (one unit the win, four the place) at odds.
RACE 3 - 2:30PM Constellation Brands New Zealand - Wines by the Group Plate (Heat of TAB Skybeau Series) (2050 METRES)
ROBE RAIDER was a Gawler winner in April and had good market support when she got back along the fence and had nothing go right in the straight at Murray Bridge last start. She looks a big danger and drawing out should mean she won’t have the traffic issues. CHARTIN is racing well and raced on speed when a Murray Bridge winner over the 2000m beating Ithacan last start. He draws out but loves some give in the ground and should take beating again. SALUTE THE STARS scored at Murray Bridge three starts back and pulled some ground of Chartin last time.
SELECTIONS: 8 ROBE RAIDER, 1 Chartin, 4 Salute The Stars, 5 The Snow Burner
PLAY: Happy to back ROBE RAIDER each-way.
RACE 4 - 3:10PM Paulmara Estates 0 - 58 Handicap (Heat Riziz Series & Country Sprint Series) (1100 METRES)
COMRADE BILL has been sent out favourite at his past couple and settle worse than midfield before closing well late behind Glenferrie Girl last time at Naracoorte. The extra 100m and good draws gives him every chance. SUGGESTIVE MISS is lightly raced and won an Oakbank maiden in March and will find this a drop in class after chasing home Somewatt Fabulous last start. HATEECH led that race up two starts back and weakened late and then ran OK behind Rock Hard at Gawler last Friday. BETTA EDDIE was a Gawler winner four starts back and then led before being run down by an in-form Magic Phantom last time. He loves some give in the ground. JUST KAPPY has a good record here on his home track and loves the sting out. RODNEY made good ground behind Rizski last start and is capable in this class.
SELECTIONS: 1 COMRADE BILL, 7 Suggestive Miss, 8 Hateech, 4 Betta Eddie
PLAY: Backing COMBRADE BILL each-way.
RACE 5 - 3:50PM McLaren Vale Distillery - MVD World Class Whiskey Benchmark 56 Handicap (1200 METRES)
ORDER IS RESTORED comes off a good run when 3rd behind Prescient at Balaklava. He has been placed at 3 of 5 here and should take some running down from an inside gate. YARDSTICK draws a good gate and led when 2nd behind Texan Windstorm at Balaklava last time. SEE YOU LATER NOW had good market support when 8th of 10 beaten 4.4 lengths behind Rock Hard at Gawler last week. Her record here is good as was her previous form and she has strong claims despite a wide gate.
SELECTIONS: 4 ORDER IS RESTORED, 1 Yardstick, 8 See You Later Now, 4 Sand Cat
PLAY: Something each-way ORDER IS RESTORED.
RACE 6 - 4:30PM Winegrapes Australia - The Andrew Press Handicap Benchmark 56 Handicap (Heat of Country Series) (1600 METRES)
CALLED TO ACCOUNT made good ground from a mile back behind Thrifty at Murray Bridge, he draws out but looks perfectly placed here and should be in the finish. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM was a Balaklava winner two starts back and followed that up with a good effort behind Good Approach at Gawler. He also draws wide and has a very good wet track record. ZIGGI ROCKS came from off the speed to win at Morphettville five runs back and was backed to run favourite at Mt Gambier last time when 3rd behind Ali Orphan. BALLROOM DANCER can improve here second-up and has trialled well since his first-up run.
SELECTIONS: 5 CALLED TO ACCOUNT, 4 Fight For Freedom, 2 Ziggi Rocks, 11 Hilumiere
PLAY: Backing CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
RACE 7 - 5:10PM Fox Creek Wines Benchmark 56 Handicap (1350 METRES)
Wide one outside the top two and happy to stay with GOOD APPROACH who followed three placings with a deserving Gawler win when he sat on speed and narrowly defeated Applied. He draws out but should take some beating again. ENZED BEER comes off a Penola win and is a three-time winner on a heavy track. TRANSFERENCE was a strong winner beating Kheshig at Penola last time and has claims despite the wide gate. FORAOISE resumes and has a good record in heavy going, likewise stablemate SHINSEKI who should be fitter for one run back.
SELECTIONS: 2 GOOD APPROACH, 1 Enzed Beer, 9 Transference, 10 Shinseki
PLAY: Keen on GOOD APPROACH again.
