Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Wandjina out of Garland Girl purchased for AUD $ 10,000 (Magic Millions 2021 Adelaide Yearling Sale). Trialled recently and finished seventh at Morphettville over 1050m. Can't consider in this line up.

First starter by War out of Jevlotto. Trialled once on August 26 at Murray Bridge when second over 950m. Wait and see how she goes under race conditions.

REDZOUST (4) hasn't missed by far in provincial Victoria both race-starts and is suited second-up in this company. The McEvoy stable strikes at 33% at this track and the colt is hard to go past. PRINCE TIKEA (3) resumes and has trialled well. Was only beaten 2.8L at The Parks on debut and chances are he'll come back better. THE GREAT BABY (5) debuted in town off a nice trial and couldn't find enough at the business end. Will be better for that and this is easier. CALL ME AL (2) debuts and profiles well. He's a betting watch along with the other debutants.
Third race start. First start 6th of 8 at Gawler 2Up Cg&E Mdn-Sw on April 3 over 1200m, 14 len behind Lord Luker carrying 57kg at $41. Went for a break before returning 9th of 12 at Murray Bridge 3Up Mdn-Sw on August 31 over 900m, slow going 9 len behind Lynda's Legacy carrying 58kg at $21. Fitter but must improve sharply.

Dan Clarken & Oopy Macgillivray trained four-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Most impressive recent trial winner. Should go close at first outing.

LOCKDOWN SALLY (7) resumes and showed plenty in town the maiden campaign. Is sure to have come on and placed the only fresh outing. The in-form Pannell rides and she sets a decent standard. STORM HUNTER (3) debuts and owns a 6.8L Murray Bridge trial win. A danger bringing that form to race-day. RIPPINGLY (9) draws wide but has also trialled well for his debut. FINAL JEDI (5) switched barns and placed on the heavy at Mt Gambier. On a 3-day return and can build on that. VIVA LA VIDA (10) was on-speed beaten 1.5L at The Bridge and will be better for it. A hope with average luck from an outside barrier.
Third-up today. First-up shifted out at start; 3rd of 7 at this track 3Yo Mdn-Sw on July 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Big Man At Night carrying 56kg at $15. Second-up 10th of 12 at this track 4Up Mdn-Sw on August 10 over 1200m, slow going 7 len behind Closed Vault with 56kg at $8.50. Genuine chance this time around.

DEEP'N MEANINGFUL (10) was much better second-up and has switched from the McEvoy's Ballarat barn. She's placed third-up and has plenty up the sleeve. She can use the low barrier and the mile should suit. GULINGI (5) was on pace beaten 1L at The Bridge and that stacks right up. Keeps Vorster but needs some luck from the awkward barrier. CHARTIN (3) raced favourite first-up and ran on well from back in the field. Has an inside draw today and fitter can get into the finish. MELODY SHINE (12) missed a nose two-back at Gawler and that would see her competitive. Has an awkward barrier but Holder goes on for the apprentice.
Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign 11th of 15 at Morphettville in the G3 Chairmans April 30 over 2000m, 14 len behind Jungle Magnate carrying 57.5kg at $31. On debut second of 14 at Bordertown 3Up Mdn-Sw January 5 over 1300m, 1.75 len behind Texan Windstorm carrying 56.5kg at $31. Definite winning hope.

SOMEWATT FABULOUS (3) came off Listed grade and needed the first-up run. Just missed at The Parks after in better than this and has more to give. Draws handy and fitter will take beating. KUNG FU FIGHTING (2) resumes for the McEvoy yard and is feared. Won the Maiden heavily-bet on debut before being placed and spelled. Has trialled well and draws to advantage. CLASSY KENNY (4) has had one blip in a string of threatening efforts. BOOLCUNDA KING (1) resumes off Listed and Group races over longer trips. May need one but owns a trial win and a leading hoop sticks from that. Keep a close eye on the betting moves.

JIVE BABY (7) looks the one to beat after a solid showing at Morphettville Parks last time out, beaten less than a length into fourth. Races well here and Todd Pannell sticks from a good draw. MAID IN MILAN (1) steps up in trip after good efforts over 1000m at her last two. She's on the quick backup and just needs to overcome the wide draw to be in the mix. BELLAVARDO (3) finished last first up but typically improves second up and the rise in trip suits. Best figures should see her run well. GRACEFUL EAGLE (5) has been building towards a win after solid midfield efforts at her last two runs. Leading jockey Barend Vorster takes the ride from a middle gate which should suit.

NICCONI EXPRESS (3) is coming off back to back wins on the Ballarat Synthetic as short priced favourites and his upside appeals. Dean Holland makes the trip across the border to ride and he rates nicely in this field. SAVILLE (7) won two in a row before another solid effort behind a good horse at Morphettville. This race suits nicely and he'll be running on late. GRANDMA GAIL (14) comes here at peak fitness third up where she's won in the past. She struggled last start but was very good first up and is worth another chance. FOX GEM (11) struggled in a tougher race at Murray Bridge last time out but was dominant winning at this track three starts ago and may find his best again.

Great edition of the Balaklava Cup with many chances. WINNING PARTNER (2) has won this race the past two years and there's no reason he can't win it again. He struggled at Caulfield last time out behind a very smart horse but was excellent at Flemington prior. Draws very wide but will be hard to hold out. NOT USUAL GLORIOUS (1) is back from a let up and back in trip but racing very well having won three in a row. Would love a heavy track but handles all surfaces. AGREEABLE (6) gets in with 54kg for Jamie Kah. She can mix her form but is right up to these at her best and was good to the line last start. NONAME LANE (5) was just fair two back at Caulfield behind Not Usual Glorious but bounced back with a sharp win over 1050m and will appreciate the extra trip.

Makes plenty of appeal from the inside draw.

RUN AND TELL (1) on top in the last. He's racing in great heart having bolted in three back before another solid effort last start. It should be a fairly simple ride for the 4kg apprentice from the inside gate and he goes on top. EAST INDIAMAN (11) ran on strongly first up at Murray Bridge over 1200m in an easier race. Has won twice when second up and can run into the frame again. WHEELS OF COURAGE (8) struggled before a spell but has run good races in better contests than this. Can figure if ready to go first up. GO BUNDLE (3) wasn't beaten all that far last time but ran well at this track prior and a repeat of that effort should be competitive here.
