Listed racing returns to Adelaide with the WH Wylie Handicap for the sprinters on the Morphettville card.
In that race, more than happy to take the best horse in that race no matter the weight differential.
Given the weight he will carry, Kemalpasa will have done a lot of work to be ready. This time last year, he was very good first up in the Spring Stakes behind two G1 horses in Behemoth and Dalasan.
He would end the prep winning two big stakes races in the Melbourne Spring.
Resuming again he was good in the Durbridge behind Behemoth before a cracking run in the Oakleigh Plate. He had a short break and won the Irwin this course and distance.
From the draw he can lead or sit behind the speed but leading takes luck out of the question. So control the race how he wants but don't let the backmarkers creep into it easily.
Over to the last where there is value in the Victorian Alluring Grace.
It is an open race granted but since a spell, this mare has either been taking on races carrying more weight when not far away at Sale or heading to town when against better horses.
The daughter of I Am Invincible was pretty good at Sandown and on a surface which won't be rock hard, can get a soft run near the inside and hope for some splits late at the odds.
Think being back to the 1100m is the right move so playing her each way.
