Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - I LOVERAIN (4) is an Ilovethiscity gelding stepping out on debut for the sharp R & C Jolly camp and gets the key jockey booking of leading hoop Jake Toeroek. Has shown good ability in his lead-up work and looks set for a bright start to his career. Stablemate PURFECT LINE (5) also makes his debut and has strips fitter for a handy Balaklava trial placing. Tricky draw to contest but is worth serious thought. MADAM JEANETTE (11) stuck on solidly into fourth on debut here three weeks ago. Is sure to come on with that run under the belt but will need some luck from barrier. BOUNCING BEYOND (2) is another that faces the starter for the first time. Drawn well and a forward showing is anticipated off the back of a nice trial placing in readiness.

RACE 2 - GRINT (5) has found the maiden win elusive but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Strips rock-hard fit and is perfectly placed in this line-up. Ready to get off the mark. MINE ALL MINE (10) is another that has shown good ability without landing the winning blow. Has enough early dash to offset the wide alley and is expected to take plenty of reeling in. PRODIGAL LAD (11) return for the Francis & Kent partnership. Showed some positive signs in his debut prep and with improvement anticipated he's among the key chances. The booking of Toeroek is a big push for his chances. FAST BUBBLES (3) is another that returns. Came close to shedding the maiden tag in both runs last time in. Drawn sticky but rates among the leading chances. RUSCHEYNE (13) progressed nicely second-up when chasing gamely into the frame at Balaklava. Should be nearing his peak third-up and needs to be included.

RACE 3 - SHINOHARA (12) gave a bold sight last start at Mt Gambier only to be captured on the line. Further improvement is anticipated third-up and gets in well again at the weights with the 2kg claimer engaged. Leading player. SABIE FALLS (10) returns for the Aldridge camp. Wasn't far away when resuming back in December, sticking on gamely into second after leading them into the lane. Drawn sticky but the booking of Crowther is a good push for her chances. ABSINTHE (4) failed to give a yelp on debut at HQ when solid in the market. Has gone back to the trials with 32 days between runs and is worth another chance. NY KEE (8) has found it tough to get off the mark but has turned in some solid efforts. Strikes one of her easiest assignments to date now and gets the key booking of Toeorek. Can give this a big shake.

RACE 4 - MINTULEE (4) has run into two handy ones in her two starts back. Enjoys a nice class drop and is aided under the big weight with the 1.5kg claimer engaged. Leading chance. JIMMYS EDGE (8) has given backers a good sight in both runs back but has just lacked a fitness edge late. The step back in trip looks to suit. Expecting him to be in this for a long way. KUITPO KISS (9) returned with a bang at Mt Gambier when making very light work of his maiden a fortnight ago. This is tougher but with improvement anticipated, she's among the winning hopes. DAMAGED (2) was well below his best last start at Gawler in testing conditions. Rates well on best figures and is worth keeping onside. BONJOUR DE GAULLE (6) dug deep to fend off his rivals when leading pillar-to-post at Port Augusta. A bit to like about that win and he deserves to be considered.

RACE 5 - LIMITED RISK (3) is also returns and has proven capable of getting the job done first-up. His only win came here on debut when beating a handy type in Sixteen Reasons. Has found the right race to kick things off. Market confidence is key. MADAM FURPHY (7) returns for the Margo & Bush partnership. Doesn't boast the best fresh record but is yet to miss the frame over this track and trip from four attempts. Well placed to play a major role. GUSTY WAY (6) had come to the end of his prep when lining up at Murray Bridge but had shown promise earlier in the prep. Races well fresh and gets a key jockey booking in Pannell. Drawn well and is among the key chances. GOPHER FRANK (5) was a determined winner when resuming at Mt Gambier. This is tougher but he carries a fitness edge and gets a key jockey switch with Toeroek taking over. Worth considering. KAIDO (2) resumes and looks best of the rest.

RACE 6 - FREE VINO (2) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking on the door. Has hit the line nicely in his last two and is well placed to get the job done with the 3kg claimer hopping on to aid under the big weight. Leading contender. ALLUSION (11) is another that has been out of the winner's circle for a long time does boast a solid record over this journey. Interesting to note he's on the quick turnaround, racing three days ago. Rates highly on best figures and can break his long run of outs. OCEAN BLAST (3) failed to make an impact last start when always well back in testing conditions at Morphettville Parks. Is much better than that run suggests and will appreciate dropping back to a preferred trip on the short turnaround. Can give this a big shake. CANIDAE (1) also disappointed last start but is capable of bouncing back in this line-up. Don't dismiss.

RACE 7 - BASE OF FIRE (5) was far from his best last start at Gawler in a run that was too bad to be true. Steps out in trip four weeks later and gets a key jockey booking in Toeroek from a favourable draw. Can bounce back. OUR DIVINYL (6) is yet to strike through this campaign and has struggled of late on rain-affected tracks so he should appreciate the anticipated firmer footing. Comes through some solid form races and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Don't take lightly. ALFANO (1) was denied narrowly from returning a winner here back in May. Hasn't been able to go on with it yet but strikes a nice race to get things back on track. GARRIRE (8) next best.

RACE 8 - JIVE BABY (3) was a barnstorming winner when resuming at Gawler and then just missed here last start when again making a strong charge from a rearward position. Shoulders a strong record third-up and should be hitting this at peak. Bold showing anticipated. LIMBERING (6) has been warming to her task nicely late in her two runs back. Drops back in grade but is expected to head back again from the wide draw. Watch for her climbing over their backs late. FIAMETTE (10) is another that likes to get back and run on. Drops back to a preferred trip three weeks between runs and is among the key chances on best efforts. Smaller cases can be made for PUISSY GALORE (2) and PRETTY RELIABLE (4).

RACE 9 - JAMROCK (3) chased gamely into second at the latest when hunting the hat-trick. Carries the superior form and is aided again at the weights with the 3kg claimer sticking. Leading player. FOX GEM (1) continues to hit the line nicely but has been leaving it too late. Easier this time as he drops in grade but is expected to settle at the rear of the field from the wide alley. Has to lug the big weight but is worth keeping safe on best efforts. LINES OF GLORY (14) has found the second win elusive but is well placed after finishing in the frame in town last start. Will enjoy the class drop and is among the key chances. FIZIQUE (5) was too bad to be true last start at Gawler. Had been racing in much better order prior and is among the key chances with a return to form. LOMAX (4) is yet to show his best this campaign but finds the right race to turn things around. Don't dismiss.
