Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap 1000m
Too Darn Crystal should lead at a strong tempo. OAK PARK MADDISON (8) was tried in Stakes grade last start but suspect she's a better horse than the performance she produced there. Back to 1000m suits and she can give some cheek up near the speed. She looks a good each-way play to the start. It's impossible to fault the form of SI SENORA (1) who won on debut then wasn't beaten far behind a smart one. Drawn to get a cosy run just behind the speed and will be running on late. WICKED STORM (3) was great on debut then wasn't disgraced in a stronger race in Melbourne last start. Suspect she will be in the finish. TOO DARN CRYSTAL (2) is here to run a big race fresh like she did last campaign. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Oak Park Maddison each-way. |

Thomas Farms Handicap 1600m
Genuine tempo from France's Boy leading Fiasco Tess. Small field but several winning chances. Richard and Chantelle Jolly hold a strong hand here with STARTS NOW (4) and UNDER THE CONE (5). STARTS NOW (4) broke through for a deserved win last start. This is a rise in class but he's drawn well and won't be too far away. UNDER THE CONE (5) looks a danger on the quick back-up. SNOOPY NOW (1) drops back in grade after things didn't go his way in Melbourne last time. He's a Stakes winner over 1800m earlier this campaign so there's obvious quality there. He can win again. KATIM'S CLUB (7) has had no luck her last two starts but is racing very well. She can run well again. AITCH D'AMICO (6) is getting fitter and might be able to improve into the placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Starts Now to win again. |

River Murray Trading Post Handicap 2000m
Flying Basil should be able to comfortably find the front. A few of the regular suspects lining up in this middle-distance contest. CORONA LAD (6) looked the winner last start before being nabbed in the shadows of the post. He drops in weight and is drawn to get the right run. He can win. FLYING BASIL (2) boasts a brilliant winning strike rate and he looks on the cusp of another win. A recent trial between runs should have him spot on for this. ANY LUCK (1) is in career-best form and she looks every chance of going back-to-back at this track and distance. LAKE'S FOLLY (9) rarely runs badly and is an each-way chance, as is LAUDING (7) if he brings his better Melbourne form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Corona Lad to win. |

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap 1000m
Endless Forevers, Caladan and Duchess Of Sussex can set the pace. A decent race and some progressive types clashing in this. CALADAN (3) is emerging as a handy sprinter and looks the one to beat. He's been leading and putting margins on his rivals and suspect he'll look the winner for most of the long straight here. This might be a dress rehearsal for the Lightning Stakes in a fortnight. There's been merit in both runs from NOETZIE (6) this campaign. She will likely concede a start from the wide barrier but she can be finishing off powerfully. DAISYDOO (5) hasn't done much wrong and looks a genuine top three chance again. LITTLEBOURKESTREET (11) and MADAM JEANETTE (12) are others to include in wider plays but the chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Caladan to win. |

Duttons Easy to do business with!! Handicap 1800m
Looks to be plenty of pace with Mangione and Mark Of The Man battling for the lead. TAKE A PICK (6) bolted in to win an easier race last time. This is a rise in grade on paper but he's found a winnable race to go back-to-back. Drawn low and should get the run of the race. It's hard to fault the recent form of MARK OF THE MAN (1) who keeps running well without winning. He's another that is drawn well and should get the right run to be in the finish. HARLEY'N'ROSE (8) is racing well but probably needs to find a length or two to have a bit more of a killer punch at the end of his races. LOMAX (4) looks ready to do something third-up, while EVERY LITTLE THING (10) looks an each-way chance if you can forgive her below par performance last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Take A Pick to win again. |

Thomas Farms Handicap 1200m
Strong pace with Lim's Bighorn pushing forward along with Divine Fire from an outside gate. Looks like another race in which the Jolly and Toeroek combo can strike. STAR SIRIUS (7) is better than what she's produced her last two starts and if she can get back to the form that saw her win at Flemington in May, she's the one to beat here. STARLITE VALLEY (8) is a prolific winner that makes her own luck up on the speed. She'll be in front at some stage and might be able to hold most of her rivals at bay. LIM'S BIGHORN (1) hops across the border and brings obvious claims. He's another who rolls forward and with the 3kg claim, he can be hard to run down. VOLTAGE POINT (2) and RICH GINA (13) must go into quaddies and wider plays based on their recent form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lim's Bighorn is worth an each-way bet. |

Carlton Draught Handicap 1100m
Good tempo anticipated with High On Sugar and Hot Off leading the way. Plenty of different form lines converge in this. SHARENDIPITY (11) keeps running well, including in a couple of stronger race. She's got a tricky draw to overcome but with luck in running, she can be in the finish. She's on top in an even race. INVERTATIONAL (13) hasn't fired in a couple of runs for the stable but her best form gives her a winning chance here. Trusting the stable to get her right. RICHE D'AMOUR (4) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression. Todd Pannell gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. TALKIN' ITALIAN (3) also mixes form but is suited at this track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sharendipity each-way. |

Carlton Draught Murray Bridge Gold Cup Book Now Handicap 1400m
A solid tempo on the cards with Swycho taking charge. FIOREEN (15) did enough at the end of her first-up run in almost a year. Banking on some natural fitness improvement and, from a good draw, she should be able to settle closer in the run. She's untapped but she might be able to make a bit of a statement here at a bit of a price. EXTRA HOT (4) has been racing very well and her booming finish makes her an each-way chance. RUNAWAY STATEMENT (5) hasn't measured up in two runs since a spell but fitter is a place hope here. SWYCHO (3) returned from a spell with reasonable effort last start when fifth while TROPICAL HOUSE (13) is a handy sort with two wins from four runs, scoring last time over 1533m at Morphettville on soft going. Both are worth including in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fioreen on a 1x3 basis. |

Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair Handicap 1400m
Genuine tempo with Burj Emperor to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. GIN RUMMY (13) is on the quick back-up after a solid run over 1200m at Gawler. He's fitter and the step to 1400m looks perfect. He's a three-year-old with a bit of upside and will be hard to beat. MERCHANT BOSS (3) has to carry the big weight but he must be a top-three chance based on his consistent form. THE SPRINKLER (8) was a hard watch last start. He only beat one rival home but he never saw daylight. Expect he will be able to bounce back to his prior form, which looks good for this. Keep an eye on market moves with FLASHING STEEL (2), who debuts for a new stable, while SIR RANDOLPH (10) is another to consider for wider plays and quaddies. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gin Rummy looks a great play on a 1x3 basis. |
