Race 1 12:45PM Irongate Australia Maiden Plate (1700m)
Three-year-old COORONG TYCOON started fav at Bordertown behind Port Nights at his second race start, did lose some momentum at a vital stage so must be given another chance with further natural progression likely.
The Richards / Moyle trained GEETEE FORTY has been placed 7 of 19 starts. Slowly away last start and did a good job to place behind Donam. Can be a bit hit or miss at the jump but leading hope in this if does things right in what is a tricky start to the day.
ALWAYS BOLD was specked ($41-$21) when a improved performance in the same race behind Donam.
IRLANDAIS looks ready for this trip after finishing of nicely between runners at Bordertown behind Port Nights over 1550 meters.
LOS ALAMOSS makes his way to SA for a new venture with trainer Scott Whittle and would only have to repeat the recent Bendigo placing heavy 8 to be competitive in this modest affair.
Tips: Coorong Tycoon 1, Geetee Forty 2, Always Bold 3, Los Alamoss 4.
Suggested Play: Coorong Tycoon at the value 1x2
Race 2 1:20PM Remembering the Australian Outback Cameleers Maiden Plate (1200m)
KISS AND KABOOM and PERILOUS LASS were similar performances when they chased impressive all the way winner Koratora along the inside last start here on their home track. Both are expected to run well but giving the nod to Perilous Lass - liked the way she dug deep first-up the last furlong recording the quickest closing split of the race. Not much meat on the bone at current quote however.
The other genuine winning hope is HALLIWELL just found them a bit sharp early over the 900 meters when settled further back than expected behind Disco Talk at Mt Gambier last Friday. Maps to be a lot closer here possibly even find the front.
ME NAME'S HARRY next best but winner to come from the above mentioned runners.
Tips: Perilous Lass 1, Kiss and Kaboom 2, Halliwell 3, Me Name's Harry 4.
Suggested Play: Perilous Lass win but need $3+
Race 3 1:55PM Gawler Arms Hotel Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate (1200m)
NOW EAST put in a terrific performance resuming behind a couple of smart ones in From The Block and Bootlegger with a huge gap to the rest of the field this track in similar conditions beaten under a length. Solid trial prior franks form also. There would be not betting if either of those two that beat hime home lasts start lined up in this.
BELLE FROM HELL looks to have some ability, look for her late
FAST TEMPO just lacks a bit of dash but sticks on ok. Looking for further but can be placed.
SHE'S THE RUMOUR held her ground last start after a solid debut. Can improve here.
Tips: Now East 1, Belle From Hell 2, Fast Tempo 3, She's The Rumour 4.
Suggested Play: Now East just wins.
Race 4 2:30PM Kingsford Hotel Class One Handicap (1200m)
All Too Hard filly ALL TOO MYSTI will appreciate the drop back in grade here and looks the one. Well found in the market so hard to steer you in at the price however.
MERCURY EIGHT finds a race here with a lot less speed engaged than what he contested resuming a week ago at Balaklava where he wasn't beaten far. Any peace at the front advantageous in assisting to run out a strong 1200.
Respecting BALISTIQUE on what she produced at her initial campaign last summer. Resumes for the new stable with no trial or jumpout and query on the rain affected track.
HOT STRUT made a mess of them in her maiden win, cant rule out on that performance.
Tips: All Too Mysti 1, Mercury Eight 2, Balistique 3, Hot Strut 4.
Suggested Play: Happy to watch on here.
Race 5 3:05PM Wolf Blass Adelaide Hills Wine Bar Hahndorf Benchmark 56 Handicap (1100m)
Another open betting race with the value play being JUSTICA'S BONUS who is placed 3 of 4 at this venue, nice effort resuming and no issues with give in the track.
The Paula Trenwith trained BABAYKA's last two efforts with the sting out of the ground have been full of merit.
ALOHA BLUE was a tad disappointing when got clear last start at Morphettville. Form prior good enough to feature in this and is a winner at only start here.
KUSHIN KHANIVALE, COOL THE JETS, PRODIGAL LAD and ILOVE RAIN all capable in what looks to be a good betting race.
Tips: Justica's Bonus 1, Babayka 2, Aloha Blue 3, Cool The Jets 4.
Suggested Play: Something Justica's Bonus each way at the double figures.
Race 6 3:42PM Wolf Blass Rascals Cup Benchmark 56 Handicap (2100m)
Can't rule out AMMO AMOUR back to a Benchmark 56 at the provincials. Failed last couple when in the market in town but backing in Krist Evans to have him right after six weeks between runs and been back to the trials. Chance if produces best.
HOT FLUSH looks primed to run well. The Justin Pickering trained mare won two races last winter over these trips and gets to the 2100 meters fourth up here after a solid run beaten 3.41L at this track over 1700 meters behind The Western Front. Should have no issues finding the front.
Three-year-olds MOANA'S FORTUNE and SOMEWHERE SOON have potential to win races over these journeys.
Hard to knock the winning form of FLYING ASSASSAIN.
Tips: Ammo Amour 1, Hot Flush 2, Moana's Fortune 3, Flying Assassain 4.
Suggested Play: Backing Ammo Amour and Hot Flush.
Race 7 4:15PM Wolf Blass, The Man, Hahndorf Museum Benchmark 56 Handicap (1500m)
Look for BLUE SPECIAL to adopt similar tactics to his last start win at Bordertown where well rated in front by Rochelle Milnes where allowed to run consistent splits. No genuine speed in race so should get the favours.
ROBERT THE PUSS doesn't win out of turn but he has been racing ok in similar events. Suited out wide late in the day.
BUSH INFERANCE has no fresh for to speak of but goes in the multiples here off decent recent trail effort.
Not much has gone right for ZIPPITY DOODAH last couple. Loathe to leave him out of the selections.
FLYING STEP will find this much more to his liking than past couple an INTACTO has been racing well enough since joining the Garret Lynch stable to play a role..
Tips: Blue Special 1, Robert The Puss 2, Flying Step 3, Intacto 4.
Suggested Play: Backing in the grey Blue Special.
