Race by race preview by Lincoln Moore.
RACE 1 - 11:31AM Lake Breeze Wines Maiden Plate (1000 METRES)
NONAME LANE scratched from Balaklava on Wednesday for this. Was placed in four starts before a break and has trialled twice for his return. YOWZA was very good making ground behind Royal Obsession at Morphettville on the Parks last time, stays at 1200m but should run well. MACONNI has been placed at both Victorian runs at decent odds, but must be respected here. YEAH YEAH NAH was a very good run at huge odds behind Spinola Bay last time. SAMURAI SUN is the second of the Will Clarken's on debut has had a couple of trials the latest behind stablemate Noname Lane. Will pay to keep an eye on the market.
SELECTIONS: NONAME LANE, Yowza, Maconni
RACE 2 - 12:06PM Adelaide Event Catering Two-Years-Old Plate (Racing Rewards SA Fully Qualified Horses Only) (1200 METRES)
ROXY BLUE is a promising filly who won at Port Lincoln on debut but it was her latest in the Cinderella Stakes that was very good when she led and finished runner-up. That's a very good form line. BRAZEN BOY has been a steady improver since the stable harnessed his early speed and he was strong late beating They Call Me Alvin here last time. He maps to follow across and should get a nice run and can win again. JAAZEB worked to the line nicely behind Brazen Boy here last time and should take benefit away from that debut. BELLE OF YORKES did a good job making ground from back in the field behind Bleriot last time and looks an improver. THEY CALL ME ALVIN was a good winner here two starts back before finding Brazen Boy too smart last time. He'll make his own luck speed from the barrier and must be respected. PRINCE JOFRA wears blinkers for his debut.
SELECTIONS: ROXY BLUE, Brazen Boy, Jaazeb
RACE 3 - 12:41PM Beyond Ink Handicap (1200 METRES)
PINDARIC is an exciting prospect who was too good for Midnight Storm at Morphettville before a break. He's unbeaten in four starts and gets the blinkers on for the first time. He's promising and might be too good for these again. STREET TOUGH was solid behind Too Goo Too Hard at his SA debut and looks the danger here with fitness on his side. He's won seven of 24 and has the fitness advantage which could be crucial late. FLYING AWARD is well and truly up to winning this but would need to lift on his first-up run when down the track behind Midnight Storm on the Parks. His form in the spring was very good and he should be suited here on the bigger track. He gets in well with the claim. LEFT HAND MAN has been placed at his past two in Melbourne, the latest runner-up behind Mr Tipla at Flemington and he has been placed at both runs here. LA RICHESSE was a good winner over Trip first-up from a break before starting favourite at Sandown, she's back in trip but must be respected.
SELECTIONS: PINDARIC, Street Tough, Flying Award
RACE 4 - 1:16PM Dutton's Easy To Do Business With!! 3yo Plate (Racing Rewards SA Fully Qualified Horses Only) (1200 METRES)
STRUCK BY is a nice horse who won the Morphettville Guineas two starts back before racing on speed and being reeled in at Sandown before a break. He's drawn awkardly but has some class and is going to give this a shake. ZOUSHINE is a talented filly who was a dual winner before jumping favourite when 8th behind Zesty Belle at Flemington back in January. She's been runner-up at both first-up runs and resuming at 1200m could be a concern. SPINOLA BAY has an inside gate but was impressive hitting the line strongly to beat We Will Remember last time out. Has claims. ULTIMATE VICTORY ran well behind Tanja's Dream first-up and was only beaten 2.4 lengths behind Great Diviner here last time. He draws to get a good run but does get back. QUIETLY DISCREET was a soft winner at Pakenham two runs back and was the OK at Sandown behind Comica. RIALTOR has speed to burn and has been impressive winning two of his past three on dirt
SELECTIONS: STRUCK BY, Zoushine, Spinola Bay
RACE 5 - 1:56PM Bremerton Wines Handicap (1600 METRES)
SHE'S A KARAKA comes off a handy run at Sandown running 4th and debuts for the David Jolly stable. She is always thereabouts and should measure up well in SA. TURN TABLE is a progressive type who comes off a good Gawler win. The wide gate hasn't really helped his chances. LOBSTER NOODLES has had market support his past couple in Victoria and was too good coming off the speed at Pakenham last time. EXALTED FIRE was a winner this track and trip last time out and has solid claims. SKY HERO finished off well behind Jaamint last week and must be given some thought the extra trip should be a bonus. ALLACCIATO is a winner here.
SELECTIONS: SHE'S A KARAKA, Turn Table, Lobster Noodles
RACE 6 - 2:36PM Kimbolton Wines Handicap (1000 METRES)
HE'S A BALTER was impressive winning here over 1200m two runs back when he flashed home off the speed. He stays at 1000m which should ensure a solid tempo and he'll get a gun run from a middle gate. ROCK HARBOUR has been in the money at three of four starts here and his fresh record is very good. He draws to get a gun run and looks a big winning hope. RAVEN'S BLAZE draws a sticky gate but gets in well with the claim and was a Mornington winner back in December. DELUSIONS is first-up for Michael Hickmott. She has won three races and should get a good run from the barrier. BELLARINE BEAUTY is another making her debut for the stable and was well backed at Tatura last time. DAMASCUS MOMENT has a good record and can run well off short break here, while stablemate HARPUNA has a good record and strong form through Corner Pocket at Moonee Valley three starts back. He is drawn awkwardly. WINNING RED is lightly-raced and wears blinkers for the first time. SMART ALICK could be one at odds from a nice barrier.
SEELECTIONS: HE'S A BALTER, Rock Harbour, Hapruna
RACE 7 - 3:11PM Happy 16th Birthday Jazz Handicap (1400 METRES)
Looks an open race on paper. GREETINGS NED was impressive coming off the speed and winning easily on the Parks track last time out and maps well from barrier four to be right in the finish again. MELODY MAN is a progressive type who stays at 1400m after pulling good ground of Zoist last time. This shapes as a suitable race and he's sure to run well but looks short enough. MOTELL draws poorly but was strong through the line behind Great Diviner last time. He has solid each-way appeal. JUST FOLK was a Sandown winner back in November and has had two runs back from spell. CONSTANZIA is a former NSW galloper with Michael Hickmott and has won five of 15 starts.
SELECTIONS: GREETINGS NED, Melody Man, Motell
RACE 8 - 3:46PM Gipsie Jack Wines Handicap (1800 METRES)
JAGUARY is racing in great form winning his past coupl. He draws to be right in the finish again with the help of the claim. IRISH BUTTERFLY was a Sandown winner three starts back and wasn't beaten far behind Over The Sky last time. He draws a sticky gate but has the right form for a race like this. STAN THE CADDY was good first-up from a spell behind and maps well from the gate. He looks good each-way value. EXALTED BEAST was well backed to run favourite behind Not Usual Glorious at Morphettville last time. His two previous runs were very good. CELTIC VALOUR was a good winner back in class this track and trip and has upside. CRYPTO CURRENCY is another who has been going well back in class and must be respected here on his home track. LOVE AND PEACE can measure-up here after a handy effort in Melboune last time. UPSWING is an interesting one who has OK form and has trialled twice over the hurdles recently.
SELECTIONS: JAGUARY, Irish Butterfly, Stan The Caddy
RACE 9 - 4:25PM Bleasdale Wines Handicap (1200 METRES)
Impossible not to be impressed by BLERIOT last time who takes on the older horses here. She caught the eye behind Garrire two runs back before a 7.1 length demolition job of rivals here last time. This is obviously a step up but a she looks a good thing on last time. LICCIARDI was a beaten favourite at Stoney Creek last time out but was a Mornington winner four starts back and should get a good run. MUNSTER has been solid his past couple finishing runner-up behind Greetings Ned and Great Diviner. That form reads well for this if he can get some luck from a tricky gate. TAHNEE TRADITION was a Terang winner on debut before going to Sandown. She is a filly with some talent. LOPE DE WOLF is well over the odds for a race like this and can be in the finish with the right run.
SELECTIONS: BLERIOT, Licciardi, Munster
