IMPERIAL SEAL (2) failed to back-up his fresh bold showing at the latest when missing the start. Drawn a dream and the booking of leading rider Barend Vorster is a huge push for his chances. Leading hope. SHOSANNA (8) returned in nice enough order fresh but lacked a kick over the concluding stages. Strips fitter and is sure to be there at the business end. CROWN MOSHE (5) gets the blinkers applied first time to help him sharpen him up. Could prove a winning move. VARIARA (4) is drawn to get a cosy run an looks best of the rest.
Second run back. First-up after three months 4th of 13 at this track 3Yo Mdn-Sw on December 10 over 1050m, 0.9 len behind Our Shining Star with 55.5kg at $41.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. Last start didn't finish the race at Murray Bridge 3Up Mdn-Sw November 9 over 1400m. The start before that 5th of 14 at Murray Bridge 3Up Mdn-Sw on October 14 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Thrifty carrying 54kg at $26. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Inference out of Whiting. Trialled recently and finished fourth at Balaklava over 1300m. Faces tough essay.

MULHALL (7) was unlucky not to shed the maiden tag fresh when beaten a long neck here. Strips fitter and benefits from Jake Toeroek uniting. Ready to get off the mark. ZEBELLA (10) showed promising signs in her first two stars last time in before heading to the paddock. Strips fitter for a lead-up trial win. Sure to be competitive. BONNIE GANGSTER (1) rattled home from the rear fresh to finish hot on the winner's heels in a blanket finish. Strips fitter and is drawn to settle closer. Big chance. LOOKS LIKE A LADY (6) is another who returns and was readied for this with a soft Balaklava trial. Booking of Barend Vorster creates some interest.
Second run back. First-up after four months 11th of 14 at this track in the LR Xmas Hcp on December 10 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Diamonds carrying 54kg at $81.

Interesting race this with the two R & C Jolly runners heading the chances. Starting with WILD IMAGINATION (7) who has progressed nicely into this campaign, tasting success at her two latest. Drawn to advantage and is a track and trip specialist. Sure to be involved. PUDDING (8) the stablemate of the top pick has also worked himself into top order this prep. Yet to win a this venue but goes well at this distance and Jake Toeroek sticks. HOPON HARRY (2) hasn't really taken a step wrong this time in either but now concedes weight to Wild Imagination after being beaten by her last start. Top three hope. DR DEE DEE (4) is also in the mix off his last start victory
Resuming. Only had one start last campaign second last of 10 at Moonee Valley Bm78 on October 21 over 955m, 4 len behind Direct carrying 56kg at $14.

LARKHAM (2) made good in-roads late to the line to finish hot on the winner's heels last time here over the same journey. Strips fitter fourth-up and all career wins have come at this distance. Hard to knock. JEAN VALJEAN (3) has returned in good order with two wins already this prep. Relishes the track and trip - sure to be competitive again. QUEMAN (4) strips fitter second-up from a spell and gets weight relief. Serious threat. HALLOWED GROUND (1) is ready to return and has his first start under David Jolly. Trialled up nicely and has to be respected.
Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Gawler 4Up Bm60 on December 17 over 1500m, nose behind Eagles Forever with 59.5kg at $5.

WHISKEY 'N' WOMEN (7) has been thereabouts in his last two after scoring three back. Has a strong turn of foot so will appreciate the anticipated hot tempo. Todd Pannell reunites and is 1/1 when partnering, Expect him to be launching an assault late. EXALTED FIRE (1) returned to his best at the latest when beaten a lip at Gawler. Big chance to score if he can hold form. LORD WONDER (4) has been unlucky not to break through this campaign, suffering narrow defeats in all three efforts. Serious threat with even luck. THE RED KITE (2) returns. Booking of Barend Vorster creates interest. Worth keeping safe fresh where he's 1/1.

PARAMEDIC (6) doesn't win out of turn but looks to have returned in solid order this prep. Profiles well for this and booking of Jake Toeroek increases his chances. MISS MIDUKI (11) has closed of firmly to the line in her two resuming efforts. Track and trip winner that gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Serious hope. SPANISH STROLL (12) failed to follow up after his dominant maiden win two back when sent out favourite. Capable of much better and is worth another chance. Can also entertain NO ENTITLEMENT (10) at an each-way quote.

The race before that couldn't go on with it; second last of 13 at this track Bm62 on November 26 over 1050m, 8 len behind The Magistrate carrying 57kg at $41. Not far away last time.

ONIKA (5) is a last start winner that comes to have her first crack in South Australia. Jockey/Trainer combination very hard to look past. SABERMETRIC (6) has struggled to go on with it after his comprhensive fresh victory at this venue. Barend Vorster reunites. Can atone. Hard to ignore the form of TAN TAT BEAU (1) with back-to-back salutations. Sets up similarly. Have to consider. BAJAN BELLE (4) is also worth respecting.

BADONKIDONK (4) improved many lengths at the latest when scoring dominantly at Murray Bridge. Goes well over this journey and can win again. UNDERSTATEMENT (11) has been thereabouts of late but has just struggled to land the knockout blow. Strips rock-hard fit and steps out to a preferred trip. ALPINE BEAU (13) doesn't win out of turn but his best efforts see this well within his grasp. Draws low and gets in well at the weights. Worth some thought. BALLROOM DANCER (5) failed to make it three on the bounce last time out. Is a track and trip winner. Can easily atone.

The race before that with blinkers first time; 3rd of 8 at Morphettville Parks Bm64 on November 19 over 1250m, slow going 1.3 len behind Perfect Command carrying 54.5kg at $7. Doesn’t need to improve that much.

Useful type. Last start 6th of 8 at Gawler 4Up Bm60 on December 17 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Viduka carrying 58.5kg at $6. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track 0-62 on November 26 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Dancing Stream carrying 57kg at $15. Can easily finish right over the top of these.

At the latest run raced on the pace when 3rd of 11 at Murray Bridge 0-56 on December 4 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Venusian with 54kg at $9.

WONDERWOMEN (9) took some time to warm to her task fresh but made solid in-roads when she did. Gets better deeper into her prep and is a second-up winner. L'IL PIPER (15) struggled to threaten last time when in the market. All career wins have come over this journey where she now looks cherry-ripe. Just needs a smart steer from the wide draw to be threatening. PONTEDERA (5) was unlucky not to make it two on the bounce at the latest when beaten a lip here. Racing well. Can also entertain TUPOLEU (13).
