Racing & Sports expert selections.
RACE 1 - WE'VE GOTTA DEEL (3) resumes and makes his stable debut for David Jolly. Has found the maiden win elusive but it hasn't been without trying, boasting best figures that have hard to beat if he can replicate. The booking of Kayla Crowther from the inside alley reads favourably. Leading player. RADIANT KNIGHT (2) wound up strongly only to just miss last start at Mt Gambier. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Placed to advantage and can run another bold race. MISS DIAMANTINA (9) only warmed to her task late fresh when resuming at Murray Bridge. Sure to have come on with that run under the belt and and has gun hoop Jason Holder sticking. Among the key chances. YIP YIP YIP (10) next best.
RACE 2 - RIVOLI VIEW (11) wasn't far away when resuming in town but struggled to follow it up at the latest. Should find this easier and positive signs shown with Jason Holder sticking. Ready to shed the maiden tag now. CHIARO (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading over the concluding stages at Strathalbyn. Tricky alley to overcome but rates highly on best efforts and is among the main chances. MILITARY PRESS (6) is on quick backup after a disappointing performance at Penola. Closed off strongly into the placings two back at Murray Bridge over this journey and a similar effort here will have him right in the finish. OURBOLT (13) next best.
RACE 3 - DUAL FUEL (6) hasn't been able to break through for some time but continues to knock on the door. Has a wide alley to overcome but rates highly on best efforts and just needs a sprinkle of luck from the gate to be fighting out the finish. MONEY OR THE BOX (15) worked home nicely into the placings to add another top three finish to the tally at Strathalbyn. Drawn favourably and is expected to play a major role. EIGHT ON THE DOT (7) is ready to win after another minor placing last start at Murray Bridge. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FIZIQUE (1) progressed nicely last start at Penola when chasing gamely into the placings. Strips fitter third up and should be nearing his peak. Can give this a shake. KEMI (9) finds the maiden win elusive but has turned in some decent efforts of late. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer sticking. Not without his chance.
RACE 4 - SKINDER (5) returned with a bang here last start when making a mess of her rivals with a dominant 4L victory. Expect this to be a bit tougher but she's been sparingly raced and is expected to have a lot more to offer. Leading player. THE STING (2) is a lightly raced six-year-old who also broke through in fine fashion last start at Murray Bridge. Fitter again and is sure to make another strong account of himself. DUBAI NIGHTS (1) was there to pounce fresh but just lacked a fitness edge late. Hasn't saluted in a long time but should be better for the run and is well placed. Can give this a shake. TANE TOA (4) lengthened nicely to get off the mark last start at Port Lincoln. Will need to take a bit of a step forward here to be in the finish but is worth considering.
RACE 5 - SANDASTAN (4) has followed up his handy win three back at Morphettville with two close minor finishes at the same venue. On the quick turnaround as he drops in trip and is beautifully placed to play a major role once again. TULLAGHAN (5) has had a while between drinks but has finished inside the top three in his last five starts. Yet to be tested over this trip but is expected to be charging hard late from a wide gate. CHARM SLINGA (9) continues to attack the line hard. Is another that sees the journey for the first time. Expect him to prove hard to hold out if he can utilise the low draw early. MONSEAGLE (6) raced below his best last time when finishing sixth at Strathalbyn. Lachlan Neindorf gets the best out of this four-year-old and the pair find a nice race to atone. ADELAIDE'S DIAMOND (8) next best.
RACE 6 - KRISTOBEL (4) doesn't win out of turn but continues to finish thereabouts. Will enjoy the drop in grade and with leading hoop Jake Toeroek piloting he's a big danger. COMMANDO MISS (3) is another that finds it hard to land the winning blow but rates highly on best efforts. Will appreciate the rise in trip and is expected to be taking strong strides late. BELLA SOO (8) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten just over a length in fourth at Strathalbyn. Has a wide alley to overcome but strips fitter and is ready to play a major role. FIAMETTE (6) best of the rest.
RACE 7 - SUGGESTIVE MISS (5) hasn't seen the winner's circle for some time but rarely turns in a poor one. Carries more weight with the drop in grade but goes well over this journey and is a leading chance. ZUFASTA (2) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second at Morphettville. Good record at this journey and is sure to go well. HAYAI MESU (8) resumes and has run well fresh without winning. Worth noting she missed by a lip when resuming at Benalla last time in work. Rates highly on best figures and can make it a stable debut for Clarken & O'Shea. UTAH JOE (12) comes in on the fresh side and is another that goes well over this journey. Keep safe.
