RACE 1 - STREETCAR TENNESSE (3) took a nice step forward second up with a close third at Strathalbyn and is trending the right way. Keep safe. SPIRIT OF FLIGHT (9) is another resuming and makes her stable debut. In the mix. GOONSUN (1) appeals back in grade. Hit the line well in eye catching fashion at Murray Bridge two back. VELVET FOX (14) could be worth a look on debut. Race depth looks to taper sharply thereafter.

RACE 2 - NOSTRYIA (1) resumes for a new stable after a quiet run before the break but has shown enough in stronger company to be taken seriously fresh. BLANC VISAGE (2) worked home well from a tough gate last start and looks well suited here with a better draw. Expect another strong finish. MOHITE (5) wasn't far away first up and should strip fitter for that run. Can settle handy and give a sight late. Similar story for DE LUCA (8). Likely improver second-up.

RACE 3 - HOT STRUT (6) was well fancied last start and loomed up before peaking late, finishing fourth at Strathalbyn. This looks a touch easier but she will need a touch of luck from the draw. GEETEE FORTY (1) returned with a strong second at Murray Bridge when picking up nicely late in his stable debut to finish second. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt and he rates a major player. IDRACOWRA (7) didn't fire over a shorter trip last time but is better suited out in distance and could improve sharply. NOUVEAU MARCHE (4) went down narrowly last start and looks primed to go one better here. Keep safe. MCKENZIE (3) is also capable of improving sharply with the blinkers going on first time.

RACE 4 - RUBINI (2) bounced right back to form last start, hitting the line well for third at Murray Bridge. Will find this easier and only needs to hold his form to be getting the job done. SHIPWRECK (5) also turned things around in style last time, powering home for a dominant win at Port Lincoln. If he holds that form, he'll take beating again. RUN AND TELL (4) has shown glimpses of talent. Went amiss last start but his form prior stacks right up. Draws favourably and should give plenty of cheek. COVERT WITNESS (7) is mixing her form but is good enough on her day to get the job done.

RACE 5 - BADONKIDONK (1) delivered as favourite last time out at Naracoorte and showed real grit late to get the win. Faces a stronger field here but is racing well and deserves plenty of respect. HAVADUEL (11) made the most of a switch to dirt last start with a solid win at Streaky Bay and brings confidence back to the turf. Capable of measuring up. AMBITIOUS CREEK (6) bounced back with a strong second at Balaklava over this sort of trip and looks well placed to go one better. BUSH INFERENCE (5) found the 2500m a stretch last time in town but drops in distance here and can run a much improved race. MASTER OF CEREMONY (9) next best.

RACE 6 - LAKE AGAWAM (6) came from the clouds to score impressively over this track and trip last start and with a similar finish, she'll be tough to hold out again. AMBELLO (1) wasn't far off them over a sharp trip last time and the step up in distance looks ideal. Right in the mix. CHAMPAGNE EFFORT (8) is rarely far away and put in another solid showing last start. With a similar effort, she can figure again. SIX STARS (4) made some late ground last time and looks better placed here. Keep safe. UTAH JOE (12) hasn't quite hit his straps yet this campaign but can get things going. Not hopeless.

RACE 7 - ANDREW'S MEMORY (3) has been warming up in two runs back and looks ready to produce his best with fitness on his side. Expect a sharper showing. ANNIHILATE (1) had been going along nicely before a flat run at Morphettville last time but is more than capable of bouncing back in this company. Give another chance. BILLIE BRONX (7) was close up fresh at Murray Bridge and while this is a tougher test, she has the talent to be right in the finish. MORLAIX (14) hit the line well for second last start and is trending the right way. In the mix again. TOP OF THE RIDGE (10) also holds genuine appeal and should be hitting his straps third-up.
