Races AR Balaklava

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a heavy-track tenth in BM68 grade at Morphettville, beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. The start prior had more merit, with a sixth in a BM64 after being held up near the 300m. Must improve.

Returns from a lengthy spell for Chris Harrison after finishing fourth in Open grade at Canberra Acton, beaten just under three lengths at generous odds. That was a much better effort than his prior ninth at Canberra, where he tired after working forward. Has Open-grade form and 1200m wins, but has to prove it fresh in SA.

Has returned in excellent order, winning a BM64 at Port Lincoln by three lengths before running third in a BM68 there, beaten a length after travelling well as favourite. She comes from country grade but drops from BM68 company, is third-up and has won at around this distance. Third-up, down in grade and well placed to take beating.

Returns from a five-week freshening after making it two wins in a row, beating Sports Choice by just under two lengths at Jamestown as favourite. Her Strathalbyn win prior was strong, showing a turn of foot to beat Dazelles by two lengths. Harder task from barrier 13, but has genuine place claims.

Worked home for fourth in a Class 2 at Murray Bdge last start, beaten just under two lengths by Safe Bet after racing keenly and being bumped near the 600m. He had also placed in Class 2 company at Morphettville at long odds, so the recent form reads solidly. Track winner who looks a live winning chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a fifth in BM66 grade at Nowra, beaten just over three lengths when slow away but strong late. The Kembla run prior was plain, finishing ninth and beaten over 11 lengths in a BM64. Proven at 1200m and has place claims if forward enough.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a Port Augusta sixth in BM64 grade, where she began slowly and was left with too much to do. The run prior was better, beaten just under two lengths in a BM66 at Nowra on heavy ground, but she again missed the start. Honest overall, but the 1200m win query remains.

Drops back from Saturday company after finishing seventh in a M BM62 at Morphettville, beaten just over four lengths when she covered ground and failed to quicken. Her previous run at this track over 1050m was also only fair, but she is now third-up, has won at this track and distance, and Teagan Voorham has had two wins on her. Big chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last at Gawler first-up, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds despite racing wide throughout. His previous run at Darwin was no better, finishing last in a BM62 and beaten over 15 lengths when unwanted in the market. Recent form is poor and others have much stronger claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after an eighth in BM68 grade at Morphettville on heavy ground, beaten just over seven lengths after covering ground. She had been fourth in the same grade the start prior, so the old form is not hopeless. Track record and Jason Holder help, but last campaign form leaves her with ground to make up.

Finished off strongly for sixth over 1000m at Murray Bdge last start, beaten just over three lengths after settling well back. The run prior in Class 1 company at Gawler was only even, and she is yet to win or place in two previous starts around 1200m. The 1200m record is the query, so place claims look fairest.

Most recently ran second last of 12 in a 0-54 at Naracoorte on November 1 over 1100m, 9 len behind Showtime Kistena carrying 60kg at $10. The run before that 10th of 13 in a Bm56 at this track on October 14 over 1050m, 5 len behind Reoffer carrying 59.5kg at $20. Prepared to overlook.

Returns from a lengthy spell after tiring into eighth at Strathalbyn, beaten seven and a half lengths after leading. His previous run at this track was also safely held, finishing ninth and beaten seven lengths despite working home fairly late. Has minor track form, but recent figures make him hard to push.

Was disappointing as favourite at Port Lincoln last start, finishing eighth and beaten over 12 lengths after beginning slowly. The start prior was more encouraging, also as favourite, when held up from the 200m and beaten three and a half lengths. Fitter third-up and can contest.
