AAP

5 year-old making belated start to career. Trials (2:0-0-0). Hard to get excited over this gelding's trial work but race day is where it matters. Follow betting leads.

ILB

5yo by Tosen Stardom racing as a debutant for trainer Jarrod Lynch. Betting is the best guide.

Related to Sunny Times, winning form over 1m-1m2½f; conceding experience to all his rivals; clear chance with signs of encouragement in profile.

Comments

AAP

Resuming (26-weeks). Well drawn for return. Can pull out a run fresh while readied with some soft trial work. Can have a major say fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up after a break of 26 weeks. Started at $4.00 and looked outclassed when 9th last run at Murray Bridge. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Will go close.

Performed below market expectations when ninth at Murray Bridge Gh over 1m (maiden) six months ago on debut for this trainer; returns from a break today; must be respected as has bits and pieces of decent form.

RSIS

Resumes after a 26 week break. At 3/1 struggled with the pace when 9th last run at Murray Bridge. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Should be going forward early. Can win.

Made running, no answer when challenged but held on for third in the 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Balaklava. On pacer. Hard fit, more a minor money chance here.

ILB

Faded in the late stages of the race when 3rd beaten by more than 2 1/2L last time at Balaklava. Should muster plenty of early toe. Slim hope.

Solid effort in defeat to finish third after going off 28-1 when close behind Pretty Morsel (Balaklava) last month; has found improvement of late but consistency hasn't been his strong suit.

RSIS

Faded at the finish when 3rd last start at Balaklava. Should race on the pace.

Put in some good work late at Balaklava off extended spell. Better conditioned. Can make her presence felt.

ILB

Odds of $101.00 and inched into 5th last start at Balaklava. Unplaced in career. Ashlee Stone provides some weight relief. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Respectable display to finish fifth, beaten 1½l over 6½f at Balaklava (maiden) three weeks ago; winless after nine races; others appeal more as running in what looks to be a hot race.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and advanced late into 5th last run at Balaklava. Yet to trouble the judge in all runs. Ashlee Stone takes a large claim.

Returns for second campaign (17-weeks). Needs to show more.

ILB

First up today. Odds of $31.00 and weakened to finish 7th last start at Strathalbyn and back to a shorter distance. Couldn't have in this.

Beaten seventh of eight over 1m2f at Strathalbyn (maiden) four months ago; returning from a layoff here.

RSIS

Back from a break. Was 30/1 and tailed off to finish 7th last time at Strathalbyn and dropping in distance.

AAP

Honest type and went close again last start. Game effort at Balaklava. 16 start maiden but this looks within her reach.

ILB

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Balaklava. In top racing shape this campaign. Highly respected.

Went down by three-quarters of a length (Balaklava) in front of Road To The City last month; shown recent signs of improvement and been running well in defeat of late; others more appealing as hits the crossbar all too often.

RSIS

Displayed good finishing pace when 2nd last run at Balaklava. In top form of late. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

AAP

Has struggled to make an impression. Ordinary performance in small field at Pooncarie. Modest career figures and very hard to recommend.

ILB

Started $14.00 and disappointing outing when 7th last time at Pooncarie but has a good draw. Hasn't placed in 8 runs. Unlikely to go close.

Recent form hardly the most inspiring; first-time blinkers didn't work over 6f at Pooncarie (maiden) when last of seven last month; meeting some horses in good form and not one to rely on.

RSIS

Odds of 13/1 and below par performance when 7th last run at Pooncarie but has a good draw. Yet to make an impression in 8 runs.

Kicks off second campaign (21-weeks). Just the one Murray Bridge Gh placing to her credit. In the minors at Murray Bridge Gh on debut last campaign whilst has looked forward enough in latest trials. Only for exotics.

ILB

First up and finished strongly when 3rd first up last preparation at Murray Bridge. Expected to be flashing home. Can run into the placings.

Four-race maiden but has managed to finish third; not beaten that far at Strathalbyn over 1m (maiden) five months ago; layoff to overcome; passed over.

RSIS

Resuming and managed to run 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L resuming last preparation at Murray Bridge. Will be trying to topple them late.

AAP

Winner too strong but ran on for the minors at Strathalbyn second-up. Makes strong appeal.

ILB

Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd last start at Strathalbyn and has drawn to do little work. Expecting a strong showing.

Tried in blinkers over 6f at Strathalbyn (maiden) when third, comfortably beaten by 5½l last month; seems to be going the right way; should figure.

RSIS

Finished strongly when 3rd last run at Strathalbyn and gets the perfect stall. Great chance.

Odds correct as at 3:10 am AEDT. Odds can change.
