Race 4 — Taylors Wines Hcp (58) 1400m · jumps Wed 11 Nov, 5:05 pm AEDT

Race preview

Balaklava plays host to the Taylors Wines Hcp (58) over 1400m on a Good 4 surface with fine weather overhead, and the win market has Dazelles heading the early betting line ahead of Flying Ace, Exonumia, and Paganini. The numbers say this setup will give punters plenty to dissect across a competitive restricted field, with speed and recent track form jumping off the page as key pointers for the afternoon. It is shaping up as a ripping tactical battle as the runners line up for a crucial test in South Australia.

Dazelles leads the market order and brings solid claims from barrier 4 for trainer Hazel Fertier and jockey Connor Murtagh, having bolted in at Penola two starts back before a fair effort in harder company at Morphettville. Flying Ace sits next in the betting for Luke O'Connor and Taylor Johnstone from barrier 9, coming off a strong runner-up finish in a BM58 at Murray Bridge over this exact 1400m journey, which suggests this seasoned campaigner handles the trip well. Exonumia rounds out the leading fancies from barrier 1 for Garret Lynch, following a dominant big-margin win at Wentworth and boasting the fastest overall finishing sectionals from the latest outing.

Looking further down the market order, Paganini rates a real chance dropping in grade for Jon O'Connor from barrier 10, despite missing the race at Morphettville last time out. With speed maps showing Dazelles and Limbering up on the pace ready to roll, and backmarkers like Willaston looking for a strong tempo to run on, the race sets up nicely. The stats show plenty of angles for punters chasing value, and everything points to an absolute thriller on the track.

AAP

Sent out $13 when never got into the race at Morphettville. Only win to date was this distance four back. Down in grade and should be more competitive.

ILB

Was $13.00 and below expectations when 11th last start at Morphettville but taking on easier opposition. Betting is the best guide.

Last of 11 over 6f at Morphettville (handicap) dropped back in distance 18 days ago; tends to find at least one too good; unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

At 12/1 clearly outclassed when 11th last run at Morphettville but competing in an easier class. Betting is the best guide.

AAP

Solid performance in defeat in the (Bm58) at Murray Bridge Gh over this journey. Outer barrier but has good gate speed and fits well against this opposition.

ILB

Flashed home late into 2nd last time at Murray Bridge and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide gate. Respect the betting.

Consistent performer; minor honours in a handicap last month (14-5, Murray Bridge Gh); big chance as recent performance was encouraging.

RSIS

Hit the line well when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Murray Bridge and showing improvement in recent outings. Has the necessary pace to overcome the wide draw. Watch the betting.

Seasoned performer who wasn't disgraced at Morphettville at $61. Drops to shorter trip. Goes into wider exotics.

Struggled with the pace when 7th last time at Morphettville but competing in a less challenging grade.

RSIS

Lost ground in the run home when 7th last start at Morphettville but has been racing in stronger company.

Bolted in at Penola two back. Started $5 when safely held in Restricted 62 company at Morphettville. Drawn to effect. Will be out to make amends.

ILB

Started at $5.00 and faded away to finish 6th last start at Morphettville. Expecting improvement but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Entitled to be respected in betting.

Not disgraced when sixth over 6f at Morphettville (handicap) last month; capable if in the mood so must be considered.

RSIS

Started 4/1 and didn't threaten when 6th last run at Morphettville. Looking for an improved run but has to cope with a weight increase. Expect a bold effort.

AAP

Thrashed a small field at Wentworth. Harder now but claim helps and drawn inside. Each way.

ILB

On a quick back up. Made a mess of them when winning by 5 3/4L last start at Wentworth and drawn well. Has early speed and positions nicely. Strong claims.

Easy winner (6l, Wentworth) a week ago; he can be taken on despite that win last time.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Won by a huge margin of 5 3/4L last start at Wentworth and can save some energy from the stall. Displays good tactical pace. Large claim helps. Good chance in this.

On a short back-up. Ex Kylie McKerlie in SA. Picked up strongly from back half at Port Lincoln. Tackling stronger line-up.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Finished well when 3rd last time at Port Lincoln. Coming to a new trainer. Will be tested.

Went close when third (Port Lincoln) a week ago; first start for current stable; poor record second up off a break so hard to recommend.

RSIS

On a short turnaround. Did well to place 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Port Lincoln. Change in trainer.

Experienced campaigner. Won a 1400m Benchmark 62 at Mildura two back. Performance just fair at Echuca over this trip at $12. Form solid this track and trip. Among the dangers.

ILB

Started at $12.00 and tailed off to finish 10th last run at Echuca. Polly Brewster is a key engagement. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Could be in the mix.

Has won over C&D; grade looks suitable; not beaten too far when tenth of 11 at Echuca last month; she should go close if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

RSIS

Was 11/1 and weakened to finish 10th last time at Echuca. Polly Brewster rates highly aboard. Should be rolling forward early from the wide stall. Could be in the mix.

Ridden cold and never in the picture at Murray Bridge Gh first up. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Odds of $20.00 and unimpressive effort when 10th last start at Murray Bridge. Does take a while to get into stride. Facing a difficult task.

Finished tenth of 12 (Murray Bridge Gh) two weeks ago; track has proven suitable before; a few throw outs since her success in a handicap at Balaklava last December; others more appealing as this could be a hot race.

RSIS

Odds of 19/1 and moderate showing when 10th last time at Murray Bridge. Likely to settle back in the field.

Fresh. Sent back to last and safely held in the small field at Mt Gambier. Others with more appeal.

ILB

Jumped at $11.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last start at Mount Gambier. Will need a big effort to win this.

Has proven competitive in a race of this nature; not beaten that far over 6f at Mt Gambier (handicap) five weeks ago; interesting as shown she can get her head in front.

RSIS

Started 10/1 and made some ground when 5th last start at Mount Gambier.

AAP

Handy but gave away tamely at Morphettville. Remains unplaced from 9 starts here and has plenty of work to do on recent figures.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. At $101.00 lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Morphettville. Others preferred.

Could not manage better than sixth at Morphettville over 6f (handicap) last week; all her winning form has come at Port Augusta (two successes) and doesn't win often; meeting some horses in good form and not easy to fancy.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Was 100/1 and folded up in the straight when 6th last time at Morphettville.

First-up (15-weeks). Hasn't done much since breaking her maiden over 2050m. Latest trial was solid enough but drawn deep and place best.

ILB

Fresh today after a break. Below standard effort when 10th last time at Morphettville but challenged by less formidable competitors. Back in trip.

RSIS

Fresh from a break. Unimpressive effort when 10th last start at Morphettville but will find this grade more suitable. Will be facing a significant drop in distance.

Got back and only battled to wire at Strathalbyn last outing. All the better, could add some value to exotics.

ILB

Odds of $11.00 and came in 6th last run at Strathalbyn but has a positive draw. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

Not won for some time now and form has been a mixed bag of late; not disgraced in sixth at Strathalbyn over 6f (handicap) last month; this is competitive and only limited appeal.

RSIS

Started at 10/1 and finished 6th last start at Strathalbyn but drawn nicely.

Odds correct as at Wed 11 Nov, 5:10 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
