Hully Foundations / Crane Services Maiden Handicap 1210m
Vasilias is the likely leader at a slick tempo. VASILIAS (1) finished second last time out over 1210m at this track, making it two career minor placings. Has a solid record here with two top-three finishes to his name. Leading player. ALABAMA AWARD (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was prominent throughout here. Well placed and can play a major role. DRAGON FISH (5) has been about the money without winning, the latest offering a third over 1000m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. LOVE SO SWEET (8) is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second here after being prominent at the turn. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. MINATO (11) hasn't been as good in her last two but can turn things around here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vasilias to win. |

Agsave Merchandise Maiden Plate 1350m
In a race devoid of pace Reiby Princess will be prominent. AQUAFOX (1) made progress last time out, finishing second over this track and trip. Rock-hard fit now and only needs to hold his form to be breaking through. REIBY PRINCESS (8) placed two back then turned in another solid effort last time out when fourth here. Great chance to break through. I'M A MILLENNIAL (2) finds it tough to break through but is knocking on the door. Was beaten less than a length here two back - a similar effort here puts her right in the finish again. OLD MATE BLUEY (4) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back at Clare. Less effective last time but is fitter so don't underestimate. IT'S A SOLID DEEL (3) is capable of better than his last two suggests. Expect him to head straight back from the wide draw and be saved for the final shot at them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aquafox to win. |

Lienert Engineering "Bud Woolford Memorial Race" Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1350m
Strong tempo with Exotic Dancer, Tiritiri and Castlecomer leading the way. FORTIS IN ARMIS (2) finished just shy of the frame in fourth last start over 1750m at this track, an improvement on his fast-finishing sixth at this track the run before. Drops slightly in grade and gets in well with the 2kg claim. Leading player. BONA FIDE STAR (4) continues to leave himself with too much to do but has been savaging the line. Drops back in trip but should find this a fraction easier. If he's close enough when turning, he will prove tough to stop. HE'S ABEL (5) is going better than his form reads and the engagement of Rochelle Milnes is a positive move. This doesn't look as hard so he should be very competitive. EL EXPLOSIVO (1) recorded his first win last start over 1200m at Penong, getting home by 1.2 lengths. Jade Doyle was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated. FLYING STEP (6) is warming and can pop up today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fortis In Armis to win. |

Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1350m
Reasonable tempo with Chiaro probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ALFANO (4) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1350m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length. Can keep the ball rolling. SHINOHARA (10) also doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but was good here last time when finishing a close fourth. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. ORIEDOS (3) is another that doesn't win often but was denied narrowly here last start. Deserves following up. QUEENOFTHEAIR (9) is proving frustrating for her supporters but finds a nice race down in the weights and from the low draw. Have to keep safe. RAZELLA (5) is in the mix if Crowther can just settle her closer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alfano gets the nod. |

Venning Auto Electrics / Venning Bros Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1000m
Strong tempo assured with Broadway Lane, Wandering Eye and Grecian Storm rolling to the front. BROADWAY LANE (7) continued the good recent form when he finished less than a length away in second last time out over 1210m at this track. Has a high cruising speed and will prove very tough to run down if left alone. EQUINE HEADLINE (5) doesn't win often but ran a strong race last time here when nabbing second. Looks slightly easier for him here and is worth serious thought. GRECIAN STORM (4) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found a forward position then knocked up in the straight to finish eighth. Was a good winner here the start prior though, when leading all the way. Expect her to push forward again. THE INEOS (8) will drift back from his draw and be saved for the final shot at them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Broadway Lane to win. |

Sportsbet Racing Form Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1000m
Hot pace certain with Spiritual Gal, Game Over and Prescient keen to take up the running. STRAWBERRY SWING (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when she was always up in the leading division over this track and trip. Has the ability to figure prominently. SPIRITUAL GAL (7) comes through the same race and gave a sight, leading until late before finishing fourth here. Will take running down. SKATING ON BY (8) split the two aforementioned in third. No reason she can't turn the tables. SOLAR GAZE (3) has been well below his best in his last two but finds a nice race to turn things around. Keeping safe on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Strawberry Swing to go one better. |

Elders EP Benchmark 72 Handicap (Heat 1 of Festival State Sprint Series) 1000m
Cracking tempo with All Clubs and Shuttle Run leading the way. SETTEVELI (6) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.5 lengths over 1000m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is a great chance to get the prize again. KOVA (4) has built nicely into today's assignment and should be hitting his straps fourth-up. Has been freshened with 58 days. Bold showing anticipated. MESSERSCHMITT (2) finished fourth last start over 1210m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well. ALL CLUBS (7) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1210m at this track only to fade late and finish seventh. Better than that last run suggest and cannot be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Setteveli to win again. |

Zimmcom Kimba Cup (Heat 6 Eyre Peninsula Legends Series) 1960m
Genuine tempo with the speedy Ichibansan leading the way. Intriguing race to assess with a majority of these coming through the Port Lincoln Cup 16 days ago. I NEED A DRINK (5) was well supported late and got back to somewhere near his best when beaten less than a length in a blanket finish. Is drawn to advantage and keep Milnes. Can get the job done this time. TALENT SCOUT (7) was a flashing light in the Cup when getting home nicely into a midfield finish. Peaking now and is drawn much kinder. Bold showing anticipated. I'M A DEXSTAR (3) started the same price as INAD in the Cup but when amiss. Happy to excuse the hiccup, with his prior form as strong as anything else in the race. Interesting to see what they do from the draw. TOORAK BLAZE (9) was another that was doing his best work late in the Cup. If the tempo is genuine, he can reel them in late. SUPER VALENTINE (6) is another worth keeping safe on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Need A Drink to win. |

Marina Hotels & Apartments Benchmark 70 Handicap 1350m
Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. MY MATE SONNY (2) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fifth at this track two starts back then got the job done by a neck last time out after being in the firing line on the turn over this track and trip. Finds a suitable assignment and can make it back-to-back wins. THERE GOES MY HERO (6) doesn't win out of turn but did a good job last start to finish third over 1350m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. POWER PRIMO (10) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1210m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign. Solid chance again. LAVA LAD (3) is knocking on the door and deserves his chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: My Mate Sonny gets the nod. |
