EACH-WAY
VALENTIGRA (Race 6)
RACE 1 - 12:30PM Clare Valley Toyota Two-Year-Old Maiden Plate (1050 METRES)
KALASEC was placed behind Angelique at Morphettville on debut. He was pressure early before being punched out to win a recent Morphettville jump-out smartly and looks the horse to beat. Stablemate SPLISH SPLASH jumped favourite in the same race but was beaten 5.9 lengths and needs to improve. KRISTOBEL is another who hasn’t done a lot wrong in three starts making ground behind Show Royale in the Cinderella Stakes last time. She maps well and will be in the finish. SIR PANAMA was well backed when 6th behind Jewel Bay on the Parks, he draws a nice gate and did catch the eye on debut when 3rd behind Accapella Moon.
SELECTIONS: 1 KALASEC, 3 Kristobel, 2 Sir Panama, 4 Splish Splash
PLAY: Backing KALASEC.
RACE 2 - 1:05PM My Butcher Maiden Plate (2200 METRES)
CONSENSIO is a 23 start maiden who has been placed five times. He showed speed at Geelong last time and must be respected here. EXALTED BELLE is on the quick back-up after running well behind Divine Brew at Murray Bridge on Sunday. SOARLIKEANEAGLE was placed behind Salute The Stars at Morphettville last November and strips fitter for one run back when well beaten at big odds.
SELECTIONS: 2 CONSENSIO, 5 Exalted Belle, 4 Soarlikeaneagle, 9 Inagurate
PLAY: Not a race I’m keen on.
RACE 3 - 1:40PM Atlas Event & Party Hire Maiden Plate (1400 METRES)
AWEN was a beaten favourite at her first two runs this time in and then boxed on OK behind Party Princess at Strathalbyn last time. SIR KINGSFORD resumes and ran well when 3rd in his last two runs before a break, the latest on his home track behind Seporia. KEEP SWINGING made ground when 4th beaten 2.3 lengths behind Realtin at Bordertown last time. RABTAT is on debut for Michael Hickmott and has been to the trials four times.
SELECTIONS: 9 AWEN, 7 Sir Kingsford, 10 Keep Swinging, 6 Rabtat
PLAY: Happy to watch on.
RACE 4 - 2:15PM Haulmark Maiden Plate (1400 METRES)
REBEL MISTRESS chased home Lady De Lune here two runs back before a good effort when 2nd behind Looks Like A Lady at Strathalbyn. She gets the blinkers for the first time and finds a winnable race. VEE ROD was easy in betting on debut and warmed up late behind Fiorada Lad. Out in trip looks ideal. GONG HIM RED is a former Victorian who finished 4th in the Hill Smith Stakes at Morphettville last October and must be respected here. PINCHBECK was placed at Morphettville two starts back but only fair behind Fiorada Lad last time.
SELECTIONS: 10 REBEL MISTRESS, 3 Vee Rod, 6 Gong Him Red, 7 Pinchbeck
PLAY: Something on REBEL MISTRESS each way.
RACE 5 - 2:50PM BTR Excavations Maiden Plate (1050 METRES)
FLORAL OASIS is the watch. She was placed in four of six starts in Queensland, has trialled up OK for her SA debut and draws a perfect barrier. Stablemate FREYCINET was sent out favourite but well beaten at Clare first-up. She gets a middle gate and had trialled up well so is worth another chance. POMPEII EMPIRE ran 3rd behind Press Down and then 3rd again behind Warrandyte Road at Strathalbyn before a break. He did run favourite at Morphettville on debut and should give a race like this a shake. MADDISON MISS comes off a good effort when she led running 3rd behind Limited Risk at Murray Bridge. She draws out but must be respected. ROULETTE QUEEN is on debut for Michael Hickmott and trialled OK at Strathalbyn.
SELECTIONS: 11 FLORAL OASIS, 5 Pompeii Empire, 1 Freycinet, 8 Maddison Miss
PLAY: Backing FLORAL OASIS.
RACE 6 - 3:25PM Adelaide Galvanising Industries Fillies & Mares Benchmark 56 Handicap (1400 METRES)
VALENTIGRA looks ready to improve here third-up. She was OK behind Run And Tell last time and getting to 1400m should suit. PRINCESS SALLY has been placed at her past three at Lock, Penong and Balranald and maps to get a nice run. EXCUSEZ MOI can run well and JOURNEY IN TIME looks well suited. PUISSY GALORE can improve, while GOGOLF GURU is up to a race like this.
SELECTIONS: 3 VALENTIGRA, 9 Princess Sally, 1 Excusez Moi, 6 Journey In Time.
PLAY: Something on VALENTIGRA each-way.
RACE 7 - 4:00PM Coopers Class Two Handicap (1050 METRES)
LIMITED RISK was well backed and won impressively at Murray Bridge on debut beating Sixteen Reasons. He draws a nice gate and looks a horse capable of measuring up to better races. MANAGE THE CYCLE was good finishing hard behind Larkham on the Parks last time. He’s been in the money at 3 of 4 starts here and gets an inside gate. LUCKY FORTUNA resumes here and was a winner here in October. She has form around some nice horses like Validated and Zufasta and should run well from the nice barrier. WINNING REVOLUTION has been around the mark with placings behind Hongbao and Siyata. He draws wide but should be in the mix here. EASTSIDE DIAMOND was a big drifter before winning at Clare on debut and must be respected from a good barrier. DUCHESS NICCI has been racing well down in class.
SELECTIONS: 1 LIMITED RISK, 2 Manage The Cycle, 7 Lucky Fortuna, 3 Winning Revolution
PLAY: Keen on LIMITED RISK.
RACE 8 - 4:35PM Taylors Wines Rating 0 - 60 Handicap (1200 METRES)
FOUR WINDS was a Morphettville winner five runs back and comes off a good run beaten 1.4 lengths behind Exalted Dame on the Parks. She draws out but looks well placed in a race like this. DAWNBURST is racing well beating Tavikat at Strathalbyn before being placed behind Run And Tell there last time. Stablemate LIANNE ran 7th in the same racing but was a Gawler winner three runs back. LOMAX has an OK fresh record.
SELECTIONS: 5 FOUR WINDS, 7 Dawnburst, 1 Lomax, 9 Lianne
PLAY: Keen on FOUR WINDS.
RACE 9 - 5:10PM TQCSI Colts, Geldings & Entires Benchmark 56 Handicap (1400 METRES)
LEON’S SHOUT was a Bordertown winner three starts back and placed behind Nicajon and Apache Star since. RUBBLE has been placed at his past two the latest behind Bonnie Gangster at Strathalbyn last week. He draws a nice gate and should be in the mix. LITTLE RICH BOY comes out of the same race and has been around the mark. RUN AND TELL was a Strathalbyn winner beating Sixfootone before leading them up and boxing on well behind Chicago Storm on the Parks. He draws out with a big weight after the claim but is racing well. MASTER AT ARMS wasn’t far away in the Apache Star race last time and was a Murray Bridge winner back in January. POOL PONY is on debut for the Francis/Kent stable, did win a recent Strathalbyn trial and gets in well after the claim.
SELECTIONS: 5 LEON'S SHOUT, 2 Rubble, 3 Little Rich Boy, 1 Run And Tell
PLAY: Something on LEON'S SHOUT each way.
