RACE 1 - ALPHA FLIGHT (1) was electric here last start, jumping straight to the front and clearing out to win comfortably. Hard fit, full of confidence, and looks primed to go back-to-back. BLEAK MID WINTER (3) didn't fire last start in tougher company at Morphettville but was a dominant first-up at Clare when leading pillar-to-post. Finds a more forgiving race here. Great chance to bounce back into the winner's circle. DYLAN'S LAD (2) continues to race well, adding another nice win to the tally last start over this course and distance. Clearly a threat again. AGRESSIVE BEE (4) failed to make an impact fresh but is capable of much better. Has speed to burn and may prove harder to catch with that run under the belt. Respect.

RACE 2 - MOUGENOT (2) stuck on gamely after setting the tempo at Murray Bridge, finishing a narrow second just nine days ago. Backs up quickly and finds a suitable race to deliver. PUB CRAWL (3) resumes after a solid first prep and has switched to a new stable. Ran well on debut and looks to have come back in good order, stripping fitter for a recent Strathalbyn trial placing. Expecting a forward showing. GO GO DOLLY (8) failed to make an impact in her debut prep but has since shown promising signs in her lead-up trial. Draws well and gets in low at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Can make a bright return. HEBRINGS CASH (1) improved sharply last start, narrowly missing over this course and trip. Strips rock-hard fit and deserves respect.

RACE 3 - NOUVEAU MARCHE (4) finds the maiden win elusive but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Has been mixing his form but boasts peaks that are good enough to get the job done this time. STAR CASINO (8) was no match for an impressive maiden winner last start but still chased soundly to hold third. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and should be hitting his straps now third-up on the rapid turnaround. UNISPHERE (7) made late inroads over the mile here last time out, closing into fourth and suggesting the run has brought him on. Drops back in trip but is capable of going a few better. HOLDER MAID (9) struggled fresh but is open to improvement. Keeping safe in exotics.

RACE 4 - SWEETWILLHEBE (4) bounced back last start when only beaten a nose in third here last start. Draws well again and strips rock-hard fit, as he steps back slightly in trip. Can get the job done this time. FIRST MAID (2) was no match for a dominant winner here last time but still closed off nicely enough to grab fourth. Looks suited stepping up in trip. Rates highly and is a major threat. SPECTAUR (3) did enough to get the verdict here last start, arriving just in time to shed her maiden tag. Faces a stronger test but is open to improvement and can measure up. MY MATE COBBER (1) struggled in town last start but this is much easier. Claim helps. Keeping safe.

RACE 5 - BROADWAY LANE (2) has been sound in his three runs back, despite being beaten a stretch last start. Peaking now and the drop in distance should suit. Expect him to cross quickly and give them something to catch. OUR GODDESS (7) didn't fire last start at Murray Bridge but will find this easier. Form prior stacks up without standing out, and she's benefited from the inside draw. Expecting her to be in this for a long way. SHIKANIC (1) was well beaten when resuming over 900m but has a strong second-up record and should relish the extra trip. Expecting sharp improvement. NOT A SINGLE BID (8) beat home Broadway Lane here last start, so deserves respect.

RACE 6 - DANCING STREAM (3) is poised to strike after being denied by the barest of margins here last start. Gets a nice pull at the weights this time and only has to hold her form to be winning. SHADOW EXPRESS (2) had their measure here last start to make it a winning debut on the dirt. Lugs more weight now but rates a strong chance again. SHORT STORIES (7) is knocking on the door. Gets in light and is suited back at this track. Capable of running into the finish. JAMROCK (4) disappointed here last start but his form prior stacks right up. Willing to forgive.

RACE 7 - I'M KENNY (3) was a class (or two) above last start when making light work of his rivals with a dominant all-the-way win over this track and trip. If he finds the front again, he'll take plenty of running down. ICHIBANSAN (2) chased gamely to just miss last start in a good form race at Balaklava. Has built nicely into this campaign and can get the job done with fresh legs. DOCTOR ROBERT (7) hit the line strongly over further and drops back slightly in trip expect him to be running on late again. Can cause a late scare if they pour it on early. SIR PANAMA (4) next best.
