Sportsbet Bet With Mates Maiden Plate 1050m
Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Geraldine. DEBRALEE (7) makes her return after 455 days. Usually they need a run but she owns two sharp trial wins in readiness and this doesn't appear to be a deep contest. Can make the perfect return. COSMO DIVA (6) jumped out well in readiness to her first-up attempt but was only sound. Is sure to have come on with that run under her belt but will need some luck from the draw. ROOMERHASIT (5) was much better last time when doing his best work to earn a minor placing at huge odds. Strips fitter and deserves a lot more respect this time. STARNOVA (3) didn't make an impression in his debut prep but returns for a new stable and takes benefit from a jumpout. Can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Debralee. |

Magain Maiden Plate 1400m
Mr Zeus has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. OAK PARK MADDISON (9) is close to breaking through. Went forward from the low draw last time and fought hard to miss narrowly. Form has stuck up strongly in 27 days and she draws well again. Looks the one to beat. ORLOVA (10) stuck on soundly into a midfield finish when resuming in town last time. Is sure to have come on from that and will appreciate the rise in trip. Big threat under the light weight of the claim. MR ZEUS (3) has given a bold sight in his two runs back, only to get reeled in. Drops back in trip and gets the blinkers on first time. Will prove stiffer to catch this time from the front. PEPPERS HOPE (7) exceeded market expectations first-up and deserves more respect this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Oak Park Maddison. |

Coopers Brewery Class One Handicap 1100m
A solid tempo is anticipated with Tanna and Jura Vaudois kicking up to hold out the next wave. REOFFER (6) has been good in her two runs back without saluting but peaks now and is drawn to advantage. Can get the job done. BIG BRUTE (1) returns and while he hasn't won for a very long time, he has produced some good efforts in between. Readied with a jumpout and should get all the favours from the inside pillar. Bold showing anticipated. FLIRT (4) made the perfect return here 3 weeks ago when leading pillar-to-post. Tougher this time but has more to offer and is a big threat. Will take plenty of catching if left alone in front. JURA VAUDOIS (5) didn't finish off last time but did impress when taking out her maiden. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reoffer to win. |

Kloses Supermarkets Fillies & Mares Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1400m
Strong tempo with Magic Princess and Limbering leading the way over Brown Nose Day Gal. BY THE BOOK (3) turned in a strong run two starts ago at Balaklava then was just as good in town against tougher opposition last time. Drops back in trip off a month between runs and gets her chance to break a long run of outs. LIMBERING (6) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a long neck last time out at Naracoorte. Not a great deal tougher this time and another big run is on the cards. MAGIC PRINCESS (7) didn't make an impression last time but was a determined winner two back. Holder taking over is a good push. Don't underestimate. BROWN NOSE DAY GAL (2) was far from her best at the latest but her two runs prior were full of credit. Can get things back on track. SUGGESTED PLAY: By The Book to win. |

Harcourts Adelaide Hills Benchmark 56 Handicap 2150m
Strong tempo with Thinkingnintynine and Ambitious Creek leading from Chartin and Prince Lucifer. THINKINGNINTYNINE (1) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the corner at Morphettville. Form prior was strong and this is much easier. Sure to be in this for a very long way. PRINCE LUCIFER (2) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring comfortably over 1900m at this track. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. TAKEN ON FAITH (4) was well in commission last start over 2150m at this track when fifth. Worth following up. GREATESTOFEASE (6) was well supported on the back of some good runs but failed to back up on the 3-day turnaround. Backs up off 5 days this time and draws well again. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thinkingnintynine to win. |

Emmetts Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1050m
Crimosa and Shadowfax should set a strong tempo. CUBAN WATERS (5) owned a sharp trial win in readiness but couldn't produce first-up, just sticking on gamely into fourth. Better for the hitout and can get the job done this time. SHADOWFAX (4) went fast early and went on to score easily last time out over this track and trip. No tougher this time and can repeat the dose. SMASHING ACTION (6) jumped out well in readiness but failed to make an impact when resuming in town. Easier this time and strips fitter. Not out of it. ZUETORO (1) was well below his best last time when chasing in vain behind Shadowfax. Meets the winner 2.5kg better this time and doesn't lose anything in the saddle with Holder taking over. Chance to turn the tables. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cuban Waters to win. |

Stateliner Coaches Colts, Geldings & Entires Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1400m
Strong pace from Dylan's Lad and Strasbeau matching motors with Augusta Rock close at hand. SEE YA LATER BABY (2) is yet to strike through this campaign when sent out favourite in all in three starts but has missed by less than a head in two of them. Peaking now and can get the job done this time in a thinner contest. MUFFLA (12) battled on soundly into a midfield finish when resuming off a long break at Naracoorte 12 days ago. Better for the run and should blend into the race nicely from the middle draw. MY CRACKLING (11) doesn't win out of turn but does boast peaks that measure up. Was good two back at Clare when beaten a long neck, a similar run here can see him threaten. DYLAN'S LAD (6) hasn't threaten of late but should find this easier and can give a sight in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: See Ya Later Baby to win. |
