RACE 1 - 12:55PM Built Water Systems Colts, Geldings & Entires Maiden Plate (1350 METRES)
HIGH ON SUGAR has been placed at his past four starts. He was runner-up behind Thermodynamic at Gawler two runs back and then led, rolled off the fence in the straight when 2nd behind I Tell Ya What at Balaklava last week. He draws a good gate and this looks his chance. MIST THE DEADLINE also comes out of the Undercover Agent race here last time when beaten 1.7 lengths and should appreciate getting out in trip with that run under his belt. EXILED LOVE was OK beaten 2.6 lengths in the Undercover Agent race here last time and draws a nice gate. Stablemate SEVEN SHOTS was beaten 0.6 lengths in 2nd behind Star Studded Belle here last time but draws out. MR JONES was a $1.45 favourite at his local debut when 3rd at Pt Augusta before he led and was beaten a length behind Star Studded Belle. He’s placed at nine of 20 and draws a sticky barrier.

NURYS was well tried to start favourite and got back when beaten 1.9 lengths in 4th behind Revolution Belle in a race dominated by the leaders at Balaklava. She was placed here in March. GOLDE ‘N’ FIRE was good first-up in SA when beaten 1.7 lengths in 4th behind Endless Faith at Murray Bridge when she didn’t have a lot of racing room and could be an improver.

EVEN SHARPER was an impressive maiden winner here in December before running 4th behind Dawnburst at Murray Bridge when he worked home OK. He draws out and has been placed fresh. UNDERCOVER AGENT powered home to win his maiden here last time beating Saint Michael. He draws a nice barrier and can go on with it.

ENDLESS FAITH was $5-$3.50 breaking her maiden at Murray Bridge last time out beating Our Glamour Girl when she sat outside the leader and fought off rivals.

RACE 4 - 2:40PM Road Side Services Class One Plate (2050 METRES)
WEEKEND WARRIOR was a $51 chance winning the Battler’s Bolt maiden at Oakbank and has been solid in three runs since running 2nd at Bordertown and Gawler before another good run when beaten 2.7 lengths behind A Touch Frosty at Murray Bridge after he worked early to find the lead. That’s good form for a race like this and he gets the claim. ESKY resumed with an OK effort beaten 3.9 lengths behind Fizique here. His best was his last 100m and he should run well despite the wide gate. FIANO NOW had specking winning her maiden at Gawler before she backed-up four days later and was beaten 11.4 lengths behind Positivity in the G3 SA Fillies Classic. This looks a nice option. WE’VE GOTTTA DEEL was a Bordertown maiden winner two runs back before he was OK when beaten 6 lengths in the Fizique race here last time.

NASHO is a handy 3yo who has tackled some better races and was beaten 3.3 lengths in 5th behind Episodic on the Parks two runs back when he sat outside the leader before he was caught three and four wide throughout when was beaten 7.6 lengths behind Vintage Star on the outer track at Morphettville. His best would go a long way to winning this and he gets in well with the 4kg claim. KUSHAN KHANIVALE has been placed at his past couple the latest behind Commander Meroo at Murray Bridge when he was on speed and looked the winner only to be nailed late. He draws a good barrier and is going to be in this for a long time. EXALTED KATE was beaten 2.5 lengths after covering ground and hitting the line well behind Game Cove at Bordertown last time and draws a nice gate here. THEBIGSOSSO was a $2.50 favourite in that race, he found himself in a tricky spot early but was only fair when beaten 3.4 lengths. He gets the blinkers for the first time from an inside draw. SET ON YOU was 2nd beaten 1.3 lengths behind Jazz Affair on the Parks two runs back and then 2.5 lengths 6th behind Fourth Power at Gawler last time when she covered ground and raced a touch one paced.

SADLER’S SONG has only won one of 37 starts but has been bursting to win here in SA and was solid again last time in a fast run race when she was beaten 0.8 lengths behind an in-form L’Esperance Rock here. She draws a good gate and this does look her chance. FREE VINO has been placed at his only run here and placed behind The Cassini at Murray Bridge two runs back. He was caught wide and near the rear when well beaten behind Peacemaker last time at Morphettville on the Parks but should run well. CRY CRY BABY hasn’t fired in two runs back from a spell but her best is capable of winning a race like this. CLUB PUNTER has been placed at two of his three runs here, the latest here in March behind Into The Light, he was well beaten at Port Augusta last time but capable of improving. SALUTE THE STARS has been placed at seven of 10 starts here on his home track and he was placed at Morphettville behind Crimson Vine two runs back but this is short of his best distance.

RACE 7 - 4:25PM Donex Electrical Rating 0 - 56 Handicap (1600 METRES)
FIAMETTE has won two races here and was OK making ground when beaten 2.4 lengths in 5th behind Flyway last time out. She has to overcome an awkward wide barrier but this looks a winnable race. ROCKBARTON ROAD was easy in the market and worked home well off a very quick tempo when 5.6 lengths 5th behind L’Esperance Rock here last time. She draws a good gate and shapes as an improver. MUFFLA was a Clare winner five runs back and was OK when 4.1 lengths behind A Touch Frosty at Murray Bridge last time.
