Races AR Balaklava

Finished seventh in a BM68 at Port Lincoln last start, beaten just over three lengths after beginning slowly and settling rearward. The start prior was much weaker, finishing last at Morphettville when beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. Needs to do more.

Comes through strong Saturday company form, finishing second in a BM62 at Morphettville last start when beaten just over half a length after covering ground. He had also closed off strongly for third there on soft ground the run prior. Proven at the mile and a strong winning hope.

Was sent out favourite in a BM68 at Port Lincoln last start but could only finish sixth, beaten just under three lengths after giving away a big start. Two back she was well held in a BM70 at Halidon. In the mix.

Was not beaten far in an Open at Balranald last start, finishing sixth by a length and a half, but that was picnic company and she now faces a harder meeting. Her previous fourth at this track behind Stolen Kiss was sound enough without threatening. The claim helps, but others bring stronger recent lines.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 in a 0-62 at Morphettville on October 31 over 1511m, 3.5 len behind Anahorish with 58.5kg at $17. The race before that 5th of 12 in a 0-64 at Morphettville on October 17 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Percidian carrying 57.5kg at $19. Looking to others.

Finished third in a BM62 at Morphettville last start, beaten just over half a length as favourite, and that Saturday company form reads well for this. The run prior in a BM64 had merit after he had difficulty obtaining clear running near the 300m. Solid place claims again.

Was beaten only a nose in a Class 2 at Murray Bdge last start, a strong effort given she raced wide throughout and was still able to fight the finish out. Her first-up sixth at Morphettville was less sharp, but she is now third-up and that latest run gives her a clear platform. The 1600m record is the query, but she is right in the mix.

Had excuses when second last in a BM62 at Morphettville last start, beginning slowly and racing wide throughout before finishing just under five lengths away. The start prior he did catch the eye late in a G BM64, though he was beaten six lengths. Prfer others.

Backs up after six days following a fourth in a BM60 at Gawler, beaten three lengths after racing wide throughout and laying in. Her Swan Hill third the run prior was more encouraging, where she led and was only caught late. Wider plays.

Made the right impression winning a Mdn at this track two starts ago, beating Pocket Pyro by three and a half lengths with something in hand, then backed it up with second in a Class 1 at Morphettville from Saturday company. She was favourite there and beaten just under a length by Prince Magnetite, while still travelling well into the race. Third-up, in form and the one they have to beat.

Resumed with a sound fourth in a Class 1 at Morphettville, beaten just over three lengths after settling back, covering ground and being bumped at the start. Her previous run was before a break, when second last in a BM62 at Murray Bdge after jumping awkwardly. Second-up with a claim, she can improve into the finish.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing sixth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths behind Stolen Kiss when fair to the line after jumping awkwardly. She had been well-supported favourite at Murray Bdge the start prior in a BM58 but faded to ninth. Mixing form but can feature on best.
