NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:59 Adelaide Galvanising Industries Handicap 1100m
Plenty of pace with Caladan and Velvet Fox making the most of their low draws. Competitive race to kick off the card. MADAM JEANETTE (10) looks a great each-way chance. She's been racing consistently this campaign and, after a solid run-in midweek grade last time, looks to have found a suitable Saturday assignment. A handy claim for an in-form Taylor Johnstone helps her cause. DE LUCA (8) also gets a claim for leading jockey Rochelle Milnes, who is fighting out the Premiership with Johnstone. Her best form would have her right in this. PLACO (1) caught the eye first-up for the new stable after a lengthy break and is open to plenty of fitness improvement. CALADAN (3) destroyed his rivals in maiden grade last start and, while this is harder, he can be in the finish again. RUSSIAN BOBSHARK (2) is another that is building towards a win.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something each-way on Madam Jeanette.
2 11:32 Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap 2000m
Longer Route should lead and dictate terms. TEST THE LAW (1) is a class horse and looks ready to find his best third-up. He should be able to get a perfect run from a decent draw and will be finishing powerfully on his home track. EXALTED FIRE (5) is on the quick back-up after a solid effort last week. He's a genuine racehorse that knows how to win. ANY LUCK (6) has been racing well on the country cups circuit and deserves her place here. YURI ROYALE (4) can be an improver second-up.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Having each-way bets on Test The Law and Yuri Royale.
3 12:07 Magic Millions Racing Rewards SA Two-Year-Old Plate 1200m
Mostly For Show and Si Senora to take up the running at a genuine tempo. Several progressive types lining up in this restricted 2YO race. Well-bred filly SYNTHESISE (13) defied market expectations when running fourth at G3 level during the Adelaide Autumn Carnival. She's trialled well since and should get a perfect run from a good draw on her home track. She can win this. MATAHGA (6) flashed late and just missed over 1100m on debut. The extra 100m suits and he looks a colt with plenty of upside. SI SENORA (8) made a winning debut and there's every reason to think he can go on with it. His stablemate MOSTLY FOR SHOW (7) can run well.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to take some of the double figures about Synthesise on a 1x3 basis.
4 12:42 Thomas Farms Racing Rewards SA Three-Year-Old Plate 1200m
Colmar should lead at a strong tempo. It might be a restricted race but this is the highlight on the card and full of emerging 3YO types. OUT OF SQUARE (5) is flying, having won four of her last five starts. She beat several of her key rivals over this track and distance last start and will take some beating again. ENUFF SEDUCTION (3) is backing up after running well on a heavy track last week. His best form in Stakes races over the autumn is good enough to win this. COLMAR (1) was disappointing last start but he's a quality galloper on his day and can bounce back. Other key chances for multiples include BOUNCING BEYOND (2) and TRIPOD TERROR (11).  SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Out Of Square to continue on her winning ways.
5 01:17 Duttons - Easy To Do Business With Handicap 1000m
A strong gallop is likely with Fickle and Sir Now taking up the running, closely attended by The Great Baby and Vintage Star. SIR NOW (2) has been a revelation for connections with three wins from five starts this campaign. He will make his own luck somewhere near the speed and looks the type that can lift the bar again. He's the one to beat. WINNING REVOLUTION (8) looks ready to recapture his best form after a luckless run at Morphettville last start. He will concede a start but he has a brilliant finish. The track should suit horses running on. It's impossible to knock DEEPFLOAT DIVA (7), who doesn't ever run badly and brings winning form to this. MAGIC MAX (5) and VINTAGE STAR (9) can add some value to the exotics.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sir Now to win and having an each-way play on Winning Revolution.
6 01:57 Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 1600m
Plenty of speed engaged with Chance Taken, Turned Loose and Burning Bright going forward ahead of Le Vizir and Maxildo. RUBINI (12) looks a great winning chance off his recent form, which includes a win at Morphettville Parks two starts back and a 1.5 length defeat last start. He gets into this with a winnable 54kg after the claim. ZARKANA (8) looks the main danger. She steps to 1600m which looks suitable at this stage of her campaign. A recent trial between runs indicated that she's ready to show something. MAXILDO (10) maps to get the right run and can finish in the money. The best of BURNING BRIGHT (11) will figure in a race like this.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Zarkana looks an each-way play at the price.
7 02:27 Sportsbet More Places Handicap 1600m
Tobiwashi to take charge ahead of Hard Leaf at a solid tempo. Tough race. STRATUM PRIDE (9) has been winless for almost two years but finds a suitable race to break the drought. She finished off well at the end of 1400m last start. The step to 1600m, the good draw and the handy 2kg claim are all in her favour. SAN LUCIDO (6) showed he's back to something like his best with a narrow defeat at Morphettville last start. He looks a danger. PETA'S HEART (13) brings some x-factor. She's a lightly-raced mare that bolted in to win her maiden last preparation. Her first-up run was full of merit. THE MANSMAN (3) is not a prolific winner but his best is good enough for a race like this so warrants inclusion in exotics.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Peta's Heart on a 1x3 basis.
8 03:07 Thomas Farms Handicap 1400m
Headphones and Following Sea will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. SURPRISE COMING (6) found winning form when digging deep to get the job done in Melbourne last start. Races well at this track having won here twice before so is a big chance to go back to back. MARACOURT (1) showed improvement in the latest appearance. Owns a good record here and has never missed a place when third-up so could be ready to peak. It's been a long time between wins for VALIDATED (4) but his recent form suggests he's getting closer to his best. ANGELIC APPEAL (14) did a good job to place in the latest appearance so can play a role again while HEADPHONES (12) has been racing well in is worth including.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Surprise coming to win again.
9 03:47 Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair Handicap 1200m
Expecting Pricilla's Choice to take up the running with Aloha Blue and The Indigo Falcon close at hand. Is today the day for NURYS (7)? The David Huxtable-trained mare has been an enigma, often savaging the line but rarely winning. She will again concede a start but this looks a winnable race for her to crack it for another win. EXTRA HOT (3) surprised her rivals with a gritty city win last start and looks to have more upside than most of her rivals. She can go on with it here and looks the main danger. VALENTINA CHARM (16) is fitter after two runs back from a spell and looks ready to peak here. ALOHA BLUE (8) gets in well with the handy 3kg claim and can run well.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Being brave and backing Nurys to win.
10 04:20 Carlton Draught Handicap 1200m
Cracking tempo with Quanah and High On Sugar leading the way. Tricky race to finish the program. DREAMS FULFILLED (8) is handy on his day and is going better than his form looks on paper. The Out Of Square form looks strong and he gets the 2kg claim for Taylor Johnstone, who is fighting out the Premiership. PRANCETHRULIFE (14) beat him home last start when also chasing Out Of Square. Must overcome a tricky draw but can be in the finish. MILLIVOY (9) keeps racing well and looks suited here. SOLAR BLAST (4) is knocking on the door after two narrow defeats, while SAV ON ICE (15) has always carried a bit of a boom and gets his chance to live up to the hype in this race.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking the quinella with 8 and 14.
