Quality sprinter who won the $2m Kosciuszko at Randwick in October. Comes off a narrow defeat behind Mnementh in the Wagga Town Plate, he draws a touch wide but his chances will enhance drastically if we get some drying weather.
Beaten only 2.85 lengths in the Everest behind Giga Kick back in October and went to Perth fresh and warmed up late to be beaten a tick over 3 lengths behind Overpass in The Quokka. That form has stood up since in Brisbane and he looks over the odds for a horse who has almost $5m in the bank.
2021 G1 Goodwood winner who was back to his brilliant best winning a second G3 McKay Stakes last time out. Drawn perfectly, looks the early leader and has to be respected having been there and done it before.
Is low flying since he was gelded winning twice down the Flemington straight and was perfectly ridden to win the G3 Irwin. Kept fresh for his Goodwood assault, looked very sharp in his gallop between races a couple of weeks ago and he is the horse on the rise at the right time. Perfectly drawn.
Won the $500k Discovery at Geelong two starts back before being beaten 4.1 lengths behind Jigsaw in the Hareeba Stakes at Mornington last time. Nice horse but there must be a question over whether he’s good enough to win a Group 1.
Local who finished 10th in this race last year after winning the McKay Stakes. He resumed and tired late behind Savatoxl in this years McKay, draws wide and roll forward but might be a light of better days and hard to entertain him at this level.
Was flying in Sydney winning the G3 Birthday Card Stakes before she powered home from similar draw to win the G2 Sapphire Stakes at Randwick. She was beaten less then a length in the Sangster when she made her run between horses and you could make a case would have won with a similar run to Ruthless Dame. Drawing out means she’ll be making a big run late and can win.
Has won 3 of 6 at Morphettville and had no luck behind Kallos in the Irwin before she looked the winner half way down the straight in the Sangster when she had a few of the off the bit before finishing 5th. She can make her own luck early and her chances increase on a drying surface.
Exciting colt who won the G2 Rubiton in February before running 2nd behind Uncommon James in the G1 Oakleigh Plate. Beat home all but In Secret in the G1 Newmarket before he failed on a Heavy 9 behind I Wish I Win and Giga Kick in the T J Smith last time. Has the right form lines and is the horse to beat especially on a drying track.
Another who’s chances increase significantly on a drying surface. He was beaten 3.15 lengths behind Private Eye in the Gilgai back in the spring and you could make excuses first-up when he was in need of room between horses before being beaten 2.6 lengths behind Savatoxl in the D C McKay Stakes. Right gate, just needs the right conditions on race day.
The second of the Matt Ellerton runners who was good first-up behind Kallos in the G3 Irwin and then he stuck on well when 3rd in the G3 McKay last time behind Savatoxl. Another horse who’s chances increase rapidly on a dry surface.
Has a good record at Morphettville and comes off two good efforts running 2nd behind Cardinal Gem at Sandown before beating home all but Outlaws Revenge in the Wangoom last start. Drawn out and gets back, he finished 4th in this race behind Lombardo last year and if we get a heavy track he is a knockout hope.
Flemington winner three starts back beating Cardinal Gem before running 3rd behind that horse at Sandown. Stuck on well running 3rd behind Jigsaw in the Hareeba last time, gets an inside gate but is another who has to go to a new level here.
Local who has come back in good form this campaign and he just missed behind Savatoxl in the G3 D C McKay Stakes last time. Draws a middle gate and won’t mind soft conditions but will be big odds.
Has a good record and comes to Adelaide on the back of a game Wagga Town Plate win when he charged late to grab Front Page. Drawn wide but is unbeaten on a heavy track and loves soft conditions. They blow the roof off the Morphettville grandstand if he wins.
Exciting filly and hasn’t attracted a lot of attention despite her luckless run in the Nitschke before the stable went back in trip and she was too good over the 1200m and beat a handy bunch in the G2 Tobin Bronze. Drawn out but think she must be given respect here with the light weight.
Hard not to be taken by her slashing run to grab 2nd in the G1 Sangster Stakes last time out at big odds. Drops in weight and draws to get a good smother behind runners. She could be the knockout and has been backed to run a big race.
