Comments

AAP

On pace, not beaten far at Geelong as a despised outsider. Drops back a notch in trip. Can challenge.

ILB

At $101.00 came in 5th last start at Geelong. Does take a while to get into stride. Entitled to be big odds.

Creditable effort in fifth (beaten just under 3l) over 6½f at Geelong (maiden) last month.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and came in 5th last time at Geelong. Might be ridden for luck.

Comments

AAP

On a quick back-up. Form to date sound. Edged out late after making the pace at Gawler second-up after a market ease. Stripping fitter, looks a serious player.

ILB

On a short back up. Was outmuscled when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Gawler and has a positive alley. Should race on the speed. Will go close today.

Went down by less than a length over 5½f at Gawler (maiden) last Monday.

RSIS

On a short back up. Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at Gawler and has a good draw. Will be fighting out the finish.

Comments

AAP

Passable debut effort when battled home at Balaklava at wide odds. Better for it. Longer trip may help. Back to a country Maiden and warrants attention.

ILB

Was $61.00 and ran 6th last run at Balaklava but having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Large claim helps. Hard to warm to at present.

Finished sixth on his debut, albeit only beaten 3½l at Balaklava over 5f at 66-1 last week; entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and could figure.

RSIS

At 60/1 finished 6th last run at Balaklava but fitter for debut run. Does take a while to get into stride. Large claim helps.

Fresh. Prominent to 400m but threw the towel in quickly at Murray Bridge Gh at second start. Stripping fitter, best viewed as a rough place hope.

ILB

Started $11.00 and faded to finish 10th last run at Murray Bridge but has drawn the rails. Watch betting.

Was tenth of 11, beaten 9l, over 7f at Murray Bridge Gh (maiden) last month; others appeal more.

RSIS

Started at 10/1 and faded away to finish 10th last start at Murray Bridge but will appreciate a good stall. Watch betting.

AAP

Back for second campaign (46-weeks). Stepping out for only the second time after battling home at Clare as a market drifter 23 Nov. Has a tricky draw. Scope there but needs significant progress.

ILB

First up from a spell of 46 weeks. Started at $5.00 and improved late to finish 4th last run at Clare and fitter for debut run. Should get going late. Has some claims.

Finished fourth of eight on his debut at Clare at 4-1 last November; returning from a layoff here; if the penny drops, not ruled out.

RSIS

Resuming after a 46 week break. Was 4/1 and closed off nicely when 4th last start at Clare and was on debut last time. Displays very good closing pace. Has some claims.

First-up (45-weeks). In the minors at Halidon first-up last campaign while brought back with a Morphettville Parks trial. Only for the minors here fresh in this company.

ILB

First up and hit the line well when 3rd beaten by almost 3 1/2L first up last preparation at the track. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Not at all out of this race.

Came home sixth, beaten 8l, over 7½f at Gawler (maiden) last November; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 11; returns from a layoff; not hard to turn elsewhere.

RSIS

Resuming and showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by just short of 3 1/2L resuming last preparation here. Might have to make up considerable ground.

Trials (1:0-0-0). Soundly beaten at the trials but might improve under race conditions. Margaret Collett on from trials. Worth keeping safe on debut.

First start under rules for this son of Astern; major player as some good aspects to his profile.

Let-up (60-days). Battled home okay in testing conditions at Murray Bridge Gh. This looks very achievable.

ILB

Jumped at $3.80 and pushed past some when 4th last start at Murray Bridge on a heavy track. Should be swooping on the field late. Definite claims.

Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; disappointing to see him finish fourth two months ago given market expectations over 7f (maiden) at Murray Bridge Gh; not hard to turn elsewhere.

RSIS

Started 11/4 and kept chasing when 4th last run at Murray Bridge. Will be trying to topple them late. Rates as one of the key chances.

Set tempo, offered little resistance when challenged at Hamilton. Drops to shorter trip. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Odds of $101.00 and looked outclassed when 7th last run at Hamilton. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Beaten 6l in seventh at Hamilton over 7f (maiden) four weeks ago; not yet off the mark in six attempts although has finished third; easy to oppose.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and folded up in the straight when 7th last time at Hamilton.

Safely held at long odds in early career starts. Others more persuasive.

ILB

At $101.00 lost ground in the run home when 14th last start at Strathalbyn. Expected to settle towards the rear. Has to improve out of sight.

First-time blinkers had no impact when tailed off (Strathalbyn) last month; still searching for first win after three tries; he can be taken on.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and didn't find the line when 14th last start at Strathalbyn. Expected to settle towards the rear.

Odds correct as at 4:00 am AEDT. Odds can change.
