GOING: S

Adelaide Galvanising Industries Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.08)  

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.

Expect improvement second-up after an eye-catching return for the new stable.

Can run a cheeky race from a low draw with the 3kg claim.

Second-up. First-up after four months was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.8 len at Penola 2yo+ Mdn-Sw June 1 over 1075m on a soft track defeating Ambushed carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 3rd of 13 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 12 over 1400m, 5 len behind Lady Potato Head with 57kg at $1.90. Tougher here and the ratings indicate she will struggle to feature in the finish.
