CALLA DREAM (5) is a recent trial winner who finished third on debut then followed that up with an unplaced effort at Murray Bridge, on both occasions she raced greenly. She would have learnt a lot with the experience and with natural improvement after a spell she looks very hard to beat. HACKERESS (8) has some speed but hasn't be rounding her races off lately, her fitness is improving and fourth up should be at its peak now. After drawing well in a weak field she gets a chance to put her best hoof forward. BORODIN (1) placed fourth in a trial last year and was then gelded, he has been given plenty of time and has travelled some way for his debut. Follow any positive market moves. REAL ROY (7) is a long time maiden and has been off the scene for over a year, but has won a trial leading into his fresh up run today, If he is anywhere near right then he is capable of giving this field a shake. Watch closely.
Gelding by Dundeel making his first race start. Has looked handy in his trials leading into this. Ran 3rd in a trial at Scone over 900m on December 15. Blinkers added. Watch closely.

The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Gawler 3yo+ Mdn on January 8 over 1506m, slow going 1.3 len behind Charm Slinga carrying 54.5kg at $2.20. Should enjoy a nice run from a handy draw and must win a race soon.

YELLOW IDOL (12) is proving to be a bit costly to punters with her last three outings all earning runner's up cheques. She gets another handy draw and in a big field should be able to stay out of trouble early, very hard to beat. LEOLAINE (10) is a Victorian visitor with solid form, her last start third was full of merit and with the extra distance on offer today she looks to be one of the main dangers to the top selection. ARASSEM (1) has trialled well in Sydney and makes his debut is South Australia, he has been given plenty of time to mature and with the blinkers added will be ready to run a big race. Watch closely. MIZZ BEEBEEFF (11) is edging closer to that elusive win after placing second at her most recent start, she is still not the finished product but should enjoy stepping up in distance here. Watch for her late.
Comes here off a 62-day let-up. At the latest run eased early stages; second last of 12 at Tuncurry 3yo+ Open-Bm80 on December 6 over 2100m, on rain affected going; 18 len behind Prospero carrying 60kg at $5.50. The start before that held up near 400m; 5th of 8 at Gosford Plate (C5) on November 20 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Diva Bella with 59kg at $4.50. Has won three times fresh up. Watch closely.

The race before that hung out on straightening; didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 8 at Bordertown (Bm64) on January 5 over 1200m, 6 len behind Dabay with 58.5kg at $21. Not far away of late. Worth including.

Faces a tough task fresh up.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at Kingscote (Bm56) on January 22 over 1215m, 3 len behind Taipan Tommy with 61.5kg at $2.20. Before that heat stress; 2nd in a small field at Penola (Bm58) on January 13 over 1100m, 3 len behind Young Jimmy carrying 59kg at $2.80. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

WONAEAMIRRI (2) started this campaign with a win and a placing at Bordertown, he has since had no luck at all in two subsequent runs. He has won on the course and should find this field a touch more easier than his recent opposition. Watch closely. ATOMIC WIZARD (5) led all the way and won very easily two starts back, his effort for third last time out was also good and if he can find the top early could take some stopping. RODNEY (8) has been racing very consistently in lesser company and gets some weight relief in this higher grade, he draws the fence so should get a soft run early and should be thereabouts again. OAKFIELD CAPTAIN (1) is having his first run in the area since arriving from NSW, he is better known over more ground but as a winner three times fresh up in the past he should not be totally overlooked. Watch for him late.
Most recently laid in near 200m; 10th of 13 at Donald 3yo+ (Bm64) on January 30 over 2000m, 7 len behind French Moon with 58.5kg at $15.

FOUR OUTLAWS (1) did not fire a shot last start in a much tougher grade after a very good effort for second at his prior run at Penola. He is back in class here and with the blinkers added should be much sharper. Allow another chance. Follow your money. HALGARD (4) actually finished ahead of the top selection in that tougher race at Donald and should be better for his first try over a middle distance. He has a wide draw to overcome but has more upside than most in this and could be over the odds. Watch closely. BACK IN ACTION (5) has been running on in all his three starts this campaign, he was a touch disappointing last time at Naracoorte but should find this an easier assignment and will also appreciate any easing in the track. Include in all multiples. BLUE BEAR (6) is a durable veteran who is racing as well as ever, he finds it hard to win these days but should never be left out of calculations in these sorts of races.

The race before that won by a head at Penola Coonawarra Cup January 13 over 1700m defeating Sebonna carrying 58.5kg at $5. Loves racing here and should be thereabouts.

Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 13 at Morphettville (Bm76) on December 26 over 2040m, nose behind Ichibansan carrying 53.5kg at $21. Can get the job done again.

SEBONNA (3) looks to have this race at his mercy and is unbeaten in two races on the course. His close up fourth placing in a much stronger field two starts back was very good and with a touch more luck could have won last time out at Penola. He is well in at the weights and should be winning. RUNBRO (2) is another with an unbeaten record on this track, he won impressively here at his last start and from the perfect inside draw is a solid each way hope. CUBAN TOONITE (1) is capable of making a sustained run during his races and on his day can be very hard to beat, his only failure this campaign was three starts back in a good field, other than that he has been in the money every time. He has won three of four starts on the track and won't be far away. SHOCK ALERT (4) dropped in class last start at Bordertown and proved too strong when winning by over six lengths. The small field here will suit him and he won't be far away.

SQUADRON LEADER (11) was only run down late when finishing runner up at Strathalbyn three weeks ago. He gets a nice draw in barrier two and handles any track conditions. He looks to be one of the leading chances. ARACHNATTACK (10) has been racing in Victoria and ran the race of an improver when finishing fourth last start. He should find it a touch easier here and fourth up should be ready to show his best form again. Watch closely. TURF TAPPER (1) is thriving on a busy race schedule and always gives his best, he was a narrow winner in this grade three starts back and battled on strongly for his second placing last time out. He draws handily and should be thereabouts. OUR ELLIE ROSE (6) capped off some strong recent form with a deserved win on this track last start. She may have only won by a nose but did make up a lot of ground in the final stages. The only concern is the drop in distance but she is over a month between runs and should be sharp enough to feature prominently.
Comes off a 32 day let-up. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.5 len at Bordertown (Bm64) January 5 over 1200m defeating Love Magic with 54.5kg at $21. Before that crowded near 300m; 6th of 10 at Penola (Bm54) on December 3 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Turf Tapper carrying 58kg at $9. Is a tough veteran with sound each way claims.

Claims 2kg's and should be included in wider combinations.

Capable type and isn't the worst.

Useful mare. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Penola (Bm54) January 23 over 1300m defeating Eagles Forever with 54.5kg at $5.50. The race before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 12 at Penola (Bm54) on January 13 over 1300m, 2 len behind Miss Harmonium with 54.5kg at $11. Hard to beat again.

PAPER DRAGON (10) cleared maidens easily at Geelong three starts back and then had a bit of a gut buster at her next run, she was a beaten favourite last time out but have been half a run short. As a Victorian raider she does look very well placed in what is a fairly average field. Hard to beat. KOBE PRINCESS (6) is resuming for a new stable after racing solely in Victoria, she didn't quite find her rhythm last campaign and hopefully the new surroundings can help her produce some good form again. She has raced well in far stronger fields in the past and should be hitting the line strongly. Watch for her late. MARACOURT (5) was well in the market on debut and duly obliged with a half a length victory at Bordertown, the extra distance of today's race should be in his favour and he should have no problem measuring up. Include in all multiples. GRIMESY (9) has been thereabouts lately without threatening the winner's circle, he is on a week back up and won't be far away.
Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Penola (Bm68) on January 13 over 1300m, 3 len behind Rialtor with 60kg at $17. The race before that keen and wide throughout; 11th of 13 at Terang 3yo+ (Bm58) on December 20 over 1400m, 9 len behind The Stager carrying 60kg at $13. Rates highly and is among the many place hopes.

Before that second last in a small field at Geelong 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 14 over 1547m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Rudy Rude carrying 63kg at $2.90. Thereabouts last start and looks a definite winning hope.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 10 at Hamilton 3yo+ (Bm58) on January 28 over 1400m, on a wet track; 1.1 len behind Mighty Ganges with 62kg at $5.50. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Bordertown (Bm58) on January 5 over 1550m, 0.9 len behind But Beautiful with 60.5kg at $7. Can build on that encouraging effort last start.

The race before that won by a long-neck at Gawler 3yo+ Mdn January 8 over 1506m on a rain affected track defeating Coyote with 55kg at $21. Draw no help to chances.

Going well.

Nicely drawn and should continue his good form.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation when last in a small field at Bordertown (Bm68) October 29 over 1550m, soft track; 7 len behind Bronski with 54kg at $7. First up last campaign hampered near 300m; fifth of 11 at Horsham Hcp (58) May 1 over 1400m, soft track; 6 len behind Seeress with 54kg at $101. Unlikely to feature fresh up from the wide draw.

BOMBER'S KISS (2) is another Victorian raider who is in good form, he was trapped wide last start and still managed to stick on for fifth, only beaten less then two lengths. He drops in distance and has form on wet tracks, with top hoop Jessica Eaton in the saddle he is well placed to win. AIR TIME (6) has a big finish on him when saved up for the last run and was only beaten a nose the last time he was on this track, he was runner up again last start and certainly deserves another win. Watch closely. STACKABLE (10) is slowly working his way back to some worthwhile form and was a good third last time out. A similar effort from the good draw will take him close. Include in all multiples. ENRICO PALLAZZO (5) is better known over more ground and all his racing has been in Victoria, he resumes here for new connections and with a quiet trial under his belt could be one to cause an upset. Watch for him late.
