MR METRICS (11) will be better for that experience at the trip last time out. He may be able to cross over as he wants to with an experienced rider aboard. Can improve here. BLOOD SWEAT TEARS (8) resumes after being backed a few times when last in work. He has some important gear changes. RIALTOR (6) has been in good form and will be sitting on the pace. He goes well for his rider. METRO LEGEND (3) will have to have admirers off a dominant victory. The barrier might be a little issue. CHILL WITH TEEJAY (7) has had two of them. She has found her best form.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 5th of 8 at this track (Bm68) on April 2 over 1050m, 2.75 len behind Gaze Grise with 55.5kg at $9.

Useful gelding. Most recently came from midfield and won by a head at Wodonga 3yo+ (Bm58) April 8 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Fever Tree carrying 61kg at $4.

BLACK ZOUS (9) took on two Victorian maidens then was put out for a spell. He now gets a more experienced jockey from a low gate so can race closer. Can see sharp improvement. LAST GIRL LOVE (10) found the Clare Lindop Stakes too hard and too far a month back. She now gets J Kah with a few gear changes too. SHE'S A TOFF (8) has done little wrong to date. She steps up here but is going nicely. OUTPOST (3) drops way back in grade. He could be a sneaky improver. L'IL PIPER (11) hit the line hard three weeks back so the added ground will benefit.
Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 14 at Oakbank in the LR Hills Railway on April 16 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind All Banter with 54kg at $101.

Previously second-up slowly away and wide near turn; 3rd of 10 at Canterbury 5yo+ (Bm70) on January 31 2020 over 1250m, neck behind Isorich with 58kg at $21. Others offer greater appeal.
Second run back. First-up after three months 9th of 14 at Murray Bridge Hcp (58) on March 27 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Rustydustysunshine carrying 55.5kg at $31. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on September 5 over 900m, slow going 2 len behind Speak No Eagle with 56kg at $15. Fitter but must improve sharply.

At the latest run 9th of 13 at Gawler (Bm54) on April 25 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Shopster with 59kg at $13. The run before that second last of 11 (began awkwardly; laid out in straight; crowded near 100m) at Oakbank (Bm54) on April 18 over 1050m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Valaroc with 59.5kg at $7. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
MADAME BOLLI (10) can sit off this pace and hit the line strongly. She has been trying to do that in Melbourne but the leaders have kept going. Down in the weights now, she can improve quickly. METEORITE (5) will have fans after racing some decent rivals last time in. He is another to get a big jockey change and has trialled well. GAZE GRISE (8) went to Listed company two weeks ago and ran a cracker. Anything like that sees her in the finish. DIAMONDS (7) put a series of good efforts back to back to end last year. Looks some value. FULL PROBE (9) has to be a show off his form. Will be near the front for a way.
Racing well. Most recently 2nd of 13 at Oakbank 3yo Plate on April 16 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Defining with 58.5kg at $6. Before that inconvenienced near 1000m; 3rd of 9 at this track 3yo (Bm68) on April 2 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Somewatt Fabulous with 59.5kg at $1.90. Strong winning hope.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 4.5 len win at Pakenham 3yo+ Mdn April 14 over 1400m defeating Egyptian Icon carrying 59kg at $1.40. Drawn perfectly and he rates a top chance.

Second-up began awkwardly; 6th of 12 at this track in the LR Redelva Stakes on April 23 over 1100m, 3 len behind Champagne Dreams carrying 54kg at $26. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

This race is well within her grasp.

Before that began awkwardly; 3rd of 11 at Morphettville Parks 3yo (Bm62) on March 12 over 1400m, long-neck behind Rich Gina carrying 56.5kg at $31. Not doing enough of late to threaten.

First of the good races is the HC Nitschke Stakes. ILLATION (2) looked so good on his debut and is bred to be good. He may well want longer in time but you can trust this stable to get it right. Should get the perfect run in transit again. PERCEPTIVE (8) boxed on well in the Clare Lindop Stakes. She is back a furlong but is fitter and a big rider up. DEFINING (10) has to be respected after the winning margins. They were easier races but she really finds the line. STAR OF CHAOS (6) raced some good horses in the Spring. She seems one that could be value. ASYMMETRICAL (5) is another who could well want further. Clearly has ability though.
Freshened since claiming maiden on debut; won by 1.3 len at Murray Bridge Mm 2yo Classic March 5 over 1200m defeating All Sassed Up with 57kg at $4.80. Kept him ticking over with won a Morphettville Parks trial over 1000m on April 7. Can continue form off first start performance. Excellent winning hope in this line up.

Second-up.

Went for a break before racing erratically; with blinkers first time; 3rd of 10 at this track 2yo Hcp on April 2 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Hope At Hand with 56.5kg at $16. Fitter but others appeal more.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 (slowly away; keen; shifted out near 200m) at Morphettville Parks 2yo Mdn on March 12 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Alpha Flight carrying 53.5kg at $10. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track 2yo Hcp April 2 over 1100m defeating Alpha Flight with 53.5kg at $4. Big chance.

Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at Ballarat 2yo Mdn on April 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; head behind Golden Mile with 56kg at $8. Sure to be about the money.

The SA Breeders' Stakes for the babies hasn't a strong field. EYE OF THE EAGLE (2) heads over from a top run in the Redoute's Choice Stakes. He should really like the added 100m and is bred to want up to a mile. SEE YOU IN HEAVEN (5) came from off the pace to win the Dequetteville Stakes. Maybe that is how to ride her. TWIN STARS (1) was a good winner at his debut. It was in lesser grade but he really attacked the line. STREET DELIGHT (6) comes off midweek company and is better drawn here. LALAGUNA (8) has to be respected on breeding alone.
Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up slowly away and poor recovery; came from last and 8th of 11 at Flemington Vobis Gold Reef on March 19 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Umgawa with 57kg at $9. Second-up eased back early on 10th of 13 at Caulfield in the G3 Easter Cup on April 16 over 2000m, 8 len behind Milford carrying 54kg at $31. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Classics contenders take to the Chairman's Stakes. HARLEYMOVEN (4) was so good in the Port Adelaide Guineas. He raced on the pace and ripped away from them. He seems like he really wants to stay. Not the best gate though. SON OF EMPEROR (5) is one bred to adore the 2000m. He will work over quickly and look to tough it out. GUNDEC (2) can be forgiven for the last outing. His prior form lines were more than acceptable. RIDDLERO (6) is working off weaker races but has put margins on rivals. Would want it wet. PALANI (11) is in the right hands to be staying.
Dual acceptor. Useful filly. At the latest run won by 2.5 len at Randwick G1 Atc Oaks April 9 over 2400m on a heavy track defeating Gypsy Goddess carrying 56kg at $26.

The first of the carnival G1s is the Australasian Oaks and it is wide open. MY WHISPER (6) has done absolutely nothing wrong this time in. She was strong late in the Auraria Stakes and on breeding would have to love the 2000m. The soft draw can only help. EL PATRONESS (1) really turned it on in the Oaks in Sydney. She was on the pace and ran away late. Just coming back in trip is the slight query. DAISIES (3) did look primed here bar for the barrier. She is back against the girls and the stable knows how to win these. BON'S A PEARLA (4) has been right there in the major races without a win. She gets her chance. MAMOUNIA (8) is the really interesting one coming back in ground. The gate is a problem but she is talented.

ZOIST (8) won't be participating in the early speed battles but keeps finishing his races off. He handles all going and adores the distance. Has to be around them at the end. ROYAL MILE (5) has shown improvement this time in but comes off a freshen up. Has every chance from this barrier. MORVADA (3) keeps running honest races. He will be boxing on the whole way. That last bit is the query. SANSOM (1) should be ready to run a race. The blinkers are off now up in trip. STRUCK BY (10) was not far away despite missing the placings at Oakbank.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming won by a nose at Gawler (Bm62) April 3 over 1200m defeating Crowned King carrying 56kg at $3.20. Second run from a spell 5th of 7 at Oakbank 4yo+ M Hcp on April 16 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Belle Plaisir carrying 54kg at $31. Might just find this a bit too tough.

MY BOY BIRMINGHAM (7) was racing so well in the Spring and then they had a go at a rich race during the carnival. Obviously that didn't work out but the break will have helped and the rider is not a drawback either. AIGUILETTE (13) has been sitting back and coming with one run. He has backed up well only recently. WILD IMAGINATION (16) has to be a big watch in this. She had strong form over longer and can sit forward. ARKHAM KNIGHT (5) wears the blinkers again. He is racing well without winning. LEFT HAND MAN (4) does improve with racing but was good first up.
