Morphettville Parks

JENKINS has two wins and three seconds from eight starts here on Parks and was runner-up behind Favourite Child two starts back and then got a long way back when beaten 9.7 lengths behind Bamyan Buddha in the Gawler Cup. He’s weighted to take some beating here. ROYAL MILE was OK first-up for his new stable beaten 4.9 lengths behind Fancify at Murray Bridge and then good beaten 1.3 lengths behind Bamyan Buddha in the Gawler Cup last time. He has a big weight but this looks his best chance to find his way back into the winner’s stall. Victorian visitor EYE OF THE EAGLE was a Sale winner two runs back, then went around a $26 chance and ran well beaten 2.28 lengths behind Electric Impulse. That’s solid form for a race like this.

SELECTIONS: 3 JENKINS, 1 Royal Mile, 2 Eye Of The Eagle, 4 France’s Boy
PLAY: Backing JENKINS.

ROYAL MAJESTY is a month between runs and was impressive first-up from a spell when a 0.7 length winner over Mythical Wisdom on the outer track. She’s a filly with some upside who draws a nice gate. COLMAR was on speed and beaten 3.5 lengths in that race, he should strip fitter for that one run back and was a Group 3 winner in the Sires’ Produce last campaign. The Richard and Chantelle Jolly pair of PURE AQUA and DANCING STORM both resumed in the same race behind Dreams Fulfilled on the outer track, both should improve here and have winning claims. SAV ON ICE is a horse with a boom and he broke his maiden at his second start last time beating Ginger Sinner but this does look a step up. He has been well found since markets went up.

SELECTIONS: 4 ROYAL MAJESTY, Sav On ice, 3 Dancing Storm, 1 Colmar
PLAY: Even race and happy to stay out.

WALK LIKE AN ANGEL was beaten 5.9 lengths behind Sir Sway first-up from a break on the outer track. She’s a winner here only start here, is two wins from three second-up, draws a nice gate and is worth another chance. RUN LIKE HELL is a Victorian with a handy record and has a win and a third from three starts here on the Parks. Her best form is usually over the shorter trips but she’ll make her presence felt here. GLOBAL TURN trialled up well before a good run when beaten 3 lengths behind Beauty Bound on the outer track. She draws a nice gate and looks well placed here.
LAPILLI has been placed here twice and was sent out favourite on the outer track when beaten 1.66 lengths in 5^th behind Seeking Stardom last time. TOSEN WATER well backed and rode the speed when beaten 1.5 lengths behind Left Turn Clyde at Gawler last time. He draws a sticky gate. RICH GINA is back in SA and now with the Searle stable, she has been in the money at four of six here but didn’t do a lot in two Victorian runs.

SELECTIONS: 3 WALK LIKE AN ANGEL, 2 Run Like Hell, 8 Global Turn, 7 Lapilli

GREAT MAXIMUS strips fitter for one run back when beaten 3.4 lengths behind Sir Sway on the outer track. His form last time in work was very good for a race like this and looks the horse to beat from an inside gate. SCHRODER’S MISTAKE was good on debut leading throughout to score a 1.7 length win over Knight Dancer. He draws a nice gate and should be somewhere in the finish. ONE LONG DAY is a Victorian unbeaten in two runs. He won a maiden on the Ballarat Synthetic before going to Geelong and beating Este Dia in July. He was good beaten 2.25 lengths in a recent Camperdown trial behind top class performer Attrition and is going to give a race like this a shake. OVERSTATED was a good winner her eon debut and comes off a solid effort beating home all but Beauty Bound on the outer track last time. He gets winker and Nunes from a good barrier and should go close. MORRIS MINOR was OK first-up from a break running 2^nd behind Startide and draws a nice gate with the aid of a claim.

SELECTIONS: 1 GREAT MAXIMUS, 7 Schroder’s Mistake, 3 One Long Day
PLAY: Keen on GREAT MAXIMUS.

THE GENIUS carried 62kg to defeat Lodbrok, who ran favourite here last week, at Cranbourne two runs back and was then beaten 5.6 lengths behind Alma Rise. He draws the inside and should be in the mix in a race like this. SIR KINGSFORD jumps from 1800m to 2250m here, his form this time around has been OK, he was good in the Balaklava Cup, only fair in the Gawler Cup after a good run and then stuck on OK behind Air Assault in the John Letts Cup last time. He draws a gate and is sure to give take some beating. ARUGAMAMA was better last time when beaten 0.8 lengths behind Call Me Vexatious on the outer track and she is going to be in the mix again. YURI ROYALE has been racing well in similar class but was no match for Big Story last time when beaten 3.5 lengths in 2^nd. DUAL FUEL was OK when beaten 3.44 lengths in 6^th behind Tippa here last week. GLENS TOP CAT was a Mornington winner two starts back and then beaten 4 lengths behind Morryl Moral at Moonee Valley last time.

SELECTIONS: 4 THE GENIUS, 1 Sir Kingsford, 2 Arugamama, 3 Yuri Royale

DUNREAL was a nice winner at Balaklava on debut and the last 100m of his second start up in class was good beaten 2.1 lengths behind Shootoose. He draws a nice gate and has plenty of upside. PAINTED PONY will run a good race here from the inside gate. She took a few runs to break her maiden but did that nicely at Gawler last time beating Lady Skylla. PROVEN CORRECT has been placed at his past couple, the latest behind Lomax and he should be in the mix despite a wide gate. JOVIALE was a good maiden winner at Mildura two runs back and then beaten 1.7 lengths behind Never Surrender at Strathalbyn. He can run well in a race like this. GRUELLING has been placed at his past couple the latest behind Prancing Countess at Gawler.

SELECTIONS: 6 DUNREAL, 7 Painted Pony, 1 Proven Correct, 4 Joviale
PLAY: Staying with DUNREAL.

FALAISE was back to winning form at Strathalbyn two runs back and then came from the back to be beaten 0.3 lengths behind Fleurieu Flipper here last time. He draws out but should be strong late again. THERMODYNAMIC was a winner here two runs back beating Falaise before he was sent out favourite and beaten 2.2 lengths behind Lomax on the outer track last time. EVEN SHARPER was a Balaklava winner five runs back and OK last time when beaten 2.2 lengths behind Obi on the outer track last time. He draws a middle gate and looks well placed here. AITCH D’AMICO is a horse who is capable in a race like this and was beaten 4.5 length Hasseltoff on the outer track last time. CHIPSON is a hard horse to catch and his best would be in the mix here but he was only OK when beaten 2.4 lengths behind Marcolt last time.

SELECTIONS: 5 FALAISE, 9 Thermodynamic, 3 Even Sharper, 1 Aitch D’Amico
PLAY: Something on FALAISE each-way.

BEAUTY BOUND was runner-up at her first two local runs before a dominant win here last time when she was a 2.2 length winner over Overstated. She has a sticky gate but a repeat would go close to winning again. VEXATIOUS DANCER was only beaten 1.8 lengths behind Sir Sway in the Listed Redelva Stakes at Morphettville in April and was then tried in the Group 2 Tobin Bronze when down the track behind Skybird. He went again in June and was beaten 5.8 lengths behind Surprise Coming at Murray Bridge, resumes here and his best could be in the finish. HOOKED ON WEALTH comes off a good run when beaten 0.3 lengths in 3^rd behind Startide and just missed prior behind Santastico at nice odds. He maps to get a perfect run here. OAKLAND RAIDER was beaten 3.8 lengths in 5^th in the same race but draws out here. QEYAADY draws the inside and was good last time out beaten 2 lengths in 3^rd behind Jean Valjean. His best is right up to a race like this. FOSTER STREET draws a nice barrier and comes off a narrow win on the outer track. SIOUX WARRIOR is a horse with ability and comes off a Balaklava win. THE STALKER was well beaten behind The Gov last time but his previous effort when 3^rd behind Pure Bliss was OK for this.
