Form hard to fault. Most recently favourite; won by 1.3 len at Oakbank (Bm54) January 19 over 1900m on a soft track defeating Ranger Cee Jay carrying 60kg at $2.80. The start before that struck interference near 600m; 2nd of 9 at Oakbank 3yo+ Plate (C1) on January 12 over 2150m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Aquilifer carrying 59kg at $1.90. No reason he cannot salute again.

The race before that keen; second last of 7 at Strathalbyn (Bm58) on December 29 over 2050m, 2 len behind Don't Dismiss carrying 58.5kg at $9. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.

Competitive. MUFFLA (3) raced favourite again winning the 54 here and might be best placed to handle the extra distance. Presents on a 7-day return. PLYMPTON (5) won the CL1 at Oakbank and has threatened the two since. High stable-striker Holder sticks and with some weight relief should go close. THE RED SEA (4) pulled up with an issue in the Muffla race and go on the Penola win prior. That stacks right up and he's also a chance if he runs it out. KNEE SLAPPER (8) gets in light with the 2kg claim and would be a winning chance with a repeat of the Gawler placing three back.
Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Reward For Effort out of Vara Remarco. Trialled a while ago when out of the placings over 1000m at Morphettville September 21. Expected to struggle against these.

Sure to be tough to beat from an inside stall.

Four-year-old mare (Lucas Cranach - Club Maher) will no doubt benefit from the two trials prior to her debut today. Last trial fourth at Strathalbyn in a 1000m trial on December 30. Hard to have in this line up.

J Hickmott & C Riggs trained four-year-old mare lining up for first race start. Scored a win in a barrier trial at Strathalbyn over 1000m on December 30. Strong each way hope here.

Three-year-old filly first-starter by Danerich out of Dark Fantasy. Prefer to see her under race conditions.

STARS THE LIMIT (3) has placed 3/3 and just missed here first-up. Fitter now and can come over the top of them for the hot Team Jolly barn. TWO TIMES TWICE (4) debuts for the inform David Jolly yard and profiles well. Will be well prepared and the betting should indicate if he's up to winning. SET TO ROCK (8) placed at Oakbank first-up much improved. Finally draws a low gate and keeps Holder. Fitter and will get every chance. CROWN MOSHE (7) debuts and owns a Strathalbyn trial win. Should race well but the outside gate has to be managed.
Resumes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run second last of 9 at Oakbank 3yo+ Plate (C1) on December 22 over 2150m, 22 len behind Plympton with 54kg at $26. The run before that keen; rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 9 at Bordertown 3yo+ Mdn Plate on December 12 over 1550m, 1.5 len behind Painted On carrying 56kg at $17. Draws well but looks safely held.

Excellent winning chance with the help of an inside alley.

YELLOW IDOL (14) races handy and just missed in town and then went close again at Gawler. Draws low and Holder takes over and links well with the Stokes barn. Draws to advantage and can break through. REVUE (6) was backed off the map at Oakbank on debut and has no luck at all. Has a wide barrier but gets the blinkers first time and Pannell takes over from Vorster. In a top yard and sharp improvement is likely. QUICK RETURN (5) was on speed and folded up at Gawler. Impressed his first two race starts and can take a sit today and gets back into the finish. STARLOCKET (12) was also plain the latest but was good prior and is in the mix.
Second-up. First-up after three months second last of 12 at this track (Bm64) on January 1 over 900m, 9 len behind Appalachian with 57kg at $21.

TWO ODD SOX (6) continues to race well and just missed from the back here 11 days ago. Drops in grade and the premier hoop is reunited. He finds the right race. YEELANNA (8) is in a form yard and is also threatening. Has a handy 3kg claim today and will ride the speed from the low barrier. GENERAL MINT (2) won on strongly winning the CL1 comfortably at Oakbank. He's a chance building on that. SANBUCK (3) brings good form from Port Lincoln and can't be ruled out.
Raced twice to date. At debut, made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn on December 27 over 1430m, 0.5 len behind Last Dream carrying 59kg at $9. Second-up won by a neck at Port Lincoln 3yo+ Mdn January 9 over 1750m defeating Angry Ant with 58kg at $3.20. Sure to go well.

MUG'S GAME (8) led the latest beaten 1L this grade and trip. That reads well and she races at peak. Gets in well with the 2kg claim and will take pegging back. ALPHA RAIDER (1) missed a lip on debut and then delivered the Maiden with at Port Lincoln. Has the rail and small claim and has plenty of scope for improvement. SPY COLONEL (3) improved sharply second-up leading beaten 1.5L in stronger than this. That puts him right in it but he has to manage an outside barrier. HARBOURING (4) disappointed as favourite at Penola but has been around the mark prior. A chance if things go his way.

YE HELLA (2) runs along and fired third-up just beaten at Strathalbyn. He has more up the sleeve and can go one better over the longer sprint. ST JUST (10) is also fourth-up and racing well. Didn't have much luck the latest as equal favourite and will go close with a good Holder ride from the outside gate. YULONG JUSTIFY (1) has looked in need of racing and has been switched from McEvoy's Victorian barn. He's up to this and gets the blinkers first time and a top hoop. Is back plenty in grade and keep very safe. CAPTAIN SOLO (4) will be fitter and is an improver in the mix.
Useful type. At the latest run 9th of 14 at this track (Bm60) on January 1 over 1200m, 7 len behind Lianne carrying 54.5kg at $21. The race before that laid out near 600m and shifted in near 100m; 4th of 9 at Gawler (Bm54) on December 1 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind St Just with 60.5kg at $3.50. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Most recently rider concerned with action and tied up; sat on the pace before fading 9th of 14 at Gawler (Bm56) on January 8 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Kungka Maru with 58kg at $8. Before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at Oakbank (Bm54) on December 22 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Canidae carrying 58kg at $7.50. Draws the fence and is a top chance.

Competitive. CONCONI (11) resumed for the new yard improved and then was only beaten 1.4L at Oakbank after being slow off and wide. Fitter now and has the speed to manage the sticky gate. She is a player in an easier race. BACK POCKET (10) was straight back into it placing first-up and Holder sticks. Has a wide barrier but presents fitter and can make the finish with average luck. BIGNOTA (7) was plainer at Gawler but the two prior read well and the 2kg claimer is likely control the race from the rail. RICHED (12) may be next best.
