Race 5 — Coopers Brewery Hcp (60) 1050m · jumps Wed 11 Nov, 5:40 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to Balaklava for the Coopers Brewery Hcp over 1050m on a Good 3 track with fine weather overhead. The win market jumps off the page with So Polite heading the betting order closely followed by Chilli Reaper, Act Of Treachery, and Flirt rounding out the early fancies in this restricted 60 handicap.

Looking closely at the form behind those shorter prices, So Polite is drawn in barrier 5 with Teagan Voorham steering, coming off a strong effort when just going under at Gawler and stripping fitter for this assignment. Chilli Reaper starts from barrier 3 for Jacob Opperman and Jamie Opperman, arriving here third-up after showing a strong late turn of foot to fill the minors in a BM56 at Murray Bridge. The numbers say these key chances rate a real chance based on recent ticker.

Further down the speed maps, we note that Act Of Treachery, So Polite, and Flirt are listed among the leaders who look to push forward early from their respective draws. Meanwhile, runners like Gusmao catch the eye with a strong fast-finisher profile from the previous start, adding plenty of depth to a cracking contest.

AAP

Stuck tough, holding off challengers Hcp (56) at Port Lincoln over longer assignment when specced into $8. Switching to 1050m. Bit tougher here and has 60kg but well drawn and Pannell on. Keep safe.

ILB

Reeled them in when winning last time at Port Lincoln and drawn nicely. Likely to get back in the run. Down in trip. Competing in a higher grade. Others are better.

Landed a narrow success in a handicap (Port Lincoln) 17 days ago; has won here; may have to settle for supporting role despite that win at Port Lincoln.

RSIS

Ran home strongly to win last time at Port Lincoln and can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to get back in the field.

Long winless run but latest ok when led, gave away under pressure at Murray Bridge Gh off spell. Fitter. Has early speed and better over the shorter sprint. Keeping safe.

ILB

At $9.50 faded in the run home when 5th last run at Murray Bridge.

Not beaten too far when fifth of 11 at Murray Bridge Gh over 6f (handicap) last month; meeting some horses in good form and has some questions to answer.

RSIS

Started at 17/2 and peaked towards the finish when 5th last start at Murray Bridge.

Third outing for new trainer/ this region. Ridden in back half, strong late to fill the minors (Bm56) at Murray Bridge Gh second-up. All the better, highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Improved to place when 2nd last start at Murray Bridge. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Worth strong consideration.

Turned in a solid effort in defeat 14 days ago, when second at Murray Bridge Gh; enters calculations.

RSIS

Managed to finish 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Murray Bridge. Has a nice turn of foot. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts of late. Will go very close.

Close-up at Morphettville 17 Oct. Finished well held at Morphettville last start. Ticks the track and distance win box and makes strong appeal back at this level.

ILB

At $11.00 didn't threaten when 8th last start at Morphettville but lining up against easier rivals.

RSIS

Started 10/1 and was well beaten when 8th last time at Morphettville but matched against a less competitive field.

AAP

On speed, had enough in the tank for the minors (Bm68) at Port Lincoln first up. Can lead or take a sit but unplaced from 6 starts here and this looks more demanding.

ILB

Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 2nd last run at Port Lincoln but will have to carry extra weight. Few more classier types in this race.

Cracking effort in defeat when close second (Port Lincoln) last month; poor record second up off a break so others more persuasive.

RSIS

Gave a strong sight when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Port Lincoln but rising in weight. Prefers to settle towards the rear.

Close-up in busy finish at Morphettville Parks 1 Aug. Prominent, showed plenty of ticker to just go under at Gawler. Strips in better shape and right in this.

ILB

Close to claiming the win last run at Gawler. Shows good early pace. Teagan Voorham is a key booking. Good winning chance.

Close up third at Gawler 19 days ago; normally pretty consistent; likely to go well.

RSIS

Competed in a tight contest last start at Gawler. Will be positive in the run early. Teagan Voorham is a plus. Attracts support.

No threat as a $61 chance in Hcp (68) at Morphettville. Fitter second-up. Good second only time this t/d and this looks more appealing. Can find a few lengths.

ILB

Weakened to finish 11th last run at Morphettville but taking on easier opposition. Large claim helps. Looks good for a place at least.

Last of 11 at Morphettville two weeks ago; grade looks suitable; capable if in the mood so looks a contender.

RSIS

Weakened under pressure when 11th last time at Morphettville but competing in a lower grade. Large claim helps. Has a credible chance.

Freshened. Placed Hcp (C2) Morphettville Parks 19 Sep. Ordinary performance in small field at Halidon but not out of this.

ILB

Odds of $7.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Halidon. Displays good tactical speed. Tracking very well this campaign. Watch for a sign in the market.

Missed the frame (beaten 8l into sixth) over 6f at Halidon (handicap) four weeks ago; she can be competitive at this level; strong claims if duplicating the form of her most recent win.

RSIS

Started 6/1 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Halidon. Should come to hand quickly. In a purple patch of form of late. Can't leave out of your calculations.

First-up (22-weeks). Fairly consistent recent preparation which included his maiden win over 1400m. No recent trial or jump out. Looks a risk fresh.

ILB

First up from a spell. At $7.50 edged past some when finishing 5th last start at Port Augusta and has the ideal alley. Might have to make up considerable ground. Others are more appealing.

Not beaten too far when fifth of 12 at Port Augusta over 7f (handicap) five months ago; has won at this course; returning from a layoff here; he can be taken on as a few rivals look in good form.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Was 13/2 and hit the line well when 5th last time at Port Augusta and will appreciate a good stall. Down in distance.

First-up (24-weeks). Didn't make much impact in stronger races last prep but blew the cobwebs away in recent trial and can give some cheek fresh in this line-up with even breaks.

ILB

First up after a break. Started at $101.00 and folded up in the straight when 9th last time at Murray Bridge but up against a less competitive field. Rough chance.

Finished ninth of 12 at Murray Bridge Gh six months ago; has had some time off; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role with a number of her rivals in good nick.

RSIS

Back after a break. Started at 100/1 and tailed off to finish 9th last start at Murray Bridge but challenged by less formidable competitors.

First-up (18-weeks). Last win was 8 Dec 2024. In the minors at Murray Bridge Gh first-up last campaign. Useful fresh form without winning but best at 900m. Place.

ILB

First up and did well to run into 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L first up last preparation at Murray Bridge. Does take a while to get into stride. This field likely to be too good.

Has lacked consistency of late and a long time since her last win; not disgraced when eighth of 12 at Morphettville in July; returns from a layoff; a few rivals look in good form so easy enough to take on.

RSIS

Resuming and made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L resuming last preparation at Murray Bridge. Does take a while to get into stride.

Ex Country NSW galloper. Unable to make an impression at Morphettville for new trainer. First time around Balaklava and needs to find form.

ILB

At $101.00 looked outclassed when 7th last run at Morphettville but competing in an easier class. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Finished last of seven on debut for new trainer at Morphettville last month.

RSIS

Started at 100/1 and gave away some ground when 7th last start at Morphettville but up against a less competitive field.

Odds correct as at Wed 11 Nov, 5:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
