EACH-WAY

BIARCHI (Race 5)

 

RACE 1 - 1:20PM Simtrack Maiden Plate (1200 METRES)

FREDDY THE EAGLE was placed at his only start here and his first-up run was good when 4th behind Manage The Cycle at Balaklava. He draws a middle gate, should be prominent here and is worth an each-way ticket. FLEURIEU FLIPPER draws a gate and comes off a good effort behind Lord Luker at Gawler. FAMILY ADDITION hasn’t raced since he was placed behind Carry The Musket at Morphettville back in November. That’s a good form reference for a race like this. TOLKIEN was $5.50 into $3.40 first-up from a break behind Princess Raffles at Oakbank and should run well. DENMANSURA was plain at Oakbank last time but has trialled well since.

SELECTIONS: 2 FREDDY THE EAGLE, 1 Fleurieu Flipper, 3 Family Addition, 6 Tolkien

PLAY: Something each-way FREDDY THE EAGLE.

 

RACE 2 - 1:55PM Hygain Maiden Plate (1600 METRES)

TIEMPE PASSATE is the interesting runner a NSW filly here on an Oaks mission. She was scratched from Oakbank in preference for this, draws an inside barrier and should take some beating. CHROMATICA is a watch on debut for the Michael Hickmott stable. She won a recent Murray Bridge trial and the stable goes for the blinkers on debut from a wide draw.  SIX FOOT SONG was a big drifter in the market and nothing went right in the same race at Gawler. ALWAYS SOMETIMES is knocking on the door and ran well behind Southern Swoop at Gawler, she’s been placed at five of 15 but finding it hard to break through. FROM THE HEAVENS was placed behind Benz Baron but draws wide. TUPOLEU was never a at Oakbank last time.

SELECTIONS: 13 TIEMPE PASSATE, 9 Chromatica, 5 Six Foot Song, 1 Always Sometimes

PLAY: TIEMPE PASSATE might be too good for these.

 

RACE 3 - 2:30PM Horse Records Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate (1350 METRES)

LONDRES had some market support but was well beaten behind Pudding up in class last time. He gets the blinkers on here and a good barrier and this looks a winnable race. TIGER QUEEN ran well behind True Aim at Balaklava last start but draws wide. BELLA SOO wasn’t far away behind See You Later Now here two runs back before being placed behind True Aim at Balaklava last time. ASHADY AMBER jumped $3.10 and was well beaten behind See You Later Now last time. He draws well and gets a claim.

SELECTIONS: 3 LONDRES, 6 Tiger Queen, 8 Bella Soo, 1 Ashady Amber

PLAY: Happy to watch on.

 

RACE 4 - 3:05PM Glenrae Stud Rating 0 - 58 Handicap (Heat 6 Autumn Series) (1350 METRES)

MR RANGER draws a nice gate here and was too good for Sabaku two starts back before jumping favourite behind Vivaldi’s Quest last time at Balaklava. CHLOE’S DAY was OK first-up behind Tubby Two Tracks at Gawler. She draws a middle gate and looks an improver in a race like this. SABAKU has been around the mark and was ’t beaten far behind Mr Ranger last time. CONCONI has been in the money at three of five starts and should give a race like this a shake. ALPHAEUS was a winner here two starts back, likewise SEE YOU LATER NOW who was only fair last time.

SELECTIONS: 3 MR RANGER, 4 Chloe’s Day, 5 Sabaku, 6 Conconi

PLAY: Something each-way CHLOE’S DAY.

 

RACE 5 - 3:40PM Grand Syndicates Benchmark 64 Handicap (Heat 9 Provincial Super Series) (2050 METRES)

Looks a race where BIARCHI can improve stepping to 2000m for the first time since last June. She was OK behind Fox D’Or last time. Some give in the track will enhance her chances. ROBE RAIDER will be hard to beat coming off a Balaklava maiden win over a similar trip. She ticks a lot of boxes for a race like this. CAPRICORN RIDGE has won two of his past three, the latest at Morphettville. He draws wide and has a big weight but will be in the finish here. BALLROOM DANCER has been in good form and followed a big run here last month with a smart win over this trip last time. She should run well. BRIABELLA beat Does It here two starts back, that’s a very strong form line and she was OK behind Toyetic at Gawler last time. ENBARR led on good speed when down the track in the Mt Gambier Cup last time. This is a big drop in class and he can roll forward from a good barrier with the claim and run a cheeky race. NEVA DOUBT US was good behind Sanblas at Morphettville two starts back and then backed that up with a handy run behind Capricorn Ridge. EXALTED RUTH is another who should appreciate a drop in class.

SELECTIONS: 6 BIARCHI, 9 Robe Raider, 1 Capricorn Ridge, 7 Ballroom Dancer

PLAY: Backing BIARCHI in a very even race.

 

RACE 6 - 4:15PM Nortpoint Fleurieu Benchmark 54 Handicap (1600 METRES)

IN THE DARKNESS is a staying mare who was well beaten behind Mac ‘N’ Cheese last time at Listed level. She’s fitter here and looks a good race for her to improve. JIVE BABY has been in the money at three of five starts here and she draws a middle gate and can run well. YOUNG LARS was a winner here two starts back and made good ground behind The Yachtsman at Hamilton last time. MALINONG CLUB draws a god barrier and can improve here. ABIT RATTLEY ran well last time and was a winner here three starts back. I’M BULLETPROOF was a winner here two starts back and can improve on last time.

SELECTIONS: 5 IN THE DARKNESS, 8 Jive Baby, 9 Young Lars, 10 Malinong Club

PLAY: Something on JIVE BABY and MALINONG CLUB at the odds.

 

RACE 7 - 4:50PM Springfield Farm Benchmark 62 Handicap (Heat 7 SA Sprint Series) (1200 METRES)

INSPIRED SUN loves it here at Strathalbyn and his run at Oakbank when he missed the start was huge behind Gypsy Crown. He has the 62kg but a good barrier and should take some running down here. GRANDMA GAIL is a big danger, her form is good and she’ll appreciate the sting out of the ground here. She has been runner-up her past three, the latest behind Rialtor who has won again since. CELESTIAL ILLUSION has good form for a race like this. He is a winner fresh and has trialled nicely. Stablemate TRUMPSTA has the two trials under his belt and was a Gawler winner three starts back and has form around Zoist. CLAP has trialled well for the new stable and was a winner on the Parks last time in work. YE HELLA has never missed a place in four starts here and was a winner two starts back beating Lomax. DISCO TILMORN as a Gawler winner last time out and can run well here.

SELECTIONS: 1 INSPIRED SUN, 11 Grandma Gail, 5 Celestial Illusion, 7 Trumpsta

PLAY: Keen on INSPIRED SUN.
