Morphettville, Saturday, 5/11

Conditions - Good

Race 1

4- KILLIAKO

5- PRETTY RELIABLE

1- TAKSHAKA

KILLIAKO & PRETTY RELIABLE came up against each other recently over the 1300m here on the same track, KILLIAKO led them up and was caught late by PRETTY RELIABLE who had an impressive run through the field. KILLIAKO was winning at the 1250m mark that day, think that she gets a soft run here from barrier 1 and will be harder to reel in today, but PRETTY RELIABLE is the clear danger off the back of the recent win. TAKSHAKA was a winner on debut and this stable needs to be respected she they travel to SA. If he can produce a similar on pace run to that debut, he will be a contender.

Race 2

2- OATH OF OMERTA (BEST OF THE DAY)

1- SEBONNA

8- HALLAROSTE

OATH OF OMERTA excels here on this track and out at these staying trips. He is a last start winner from a similar race and is fitter for being 3rd up now. He should prove hard to beat today. SEBONNA has slowly been building up through this prep and is here at a suitable distance now. The 2250m trip suits, and based on the last start he will appreciate the extra trip and additional fitness he has now 4th up. HALLAROSTE has to rise in grade for this, but maps to push forwards and control this race on speed. He has a light weight so expect he can be finishing this race off well and will take some catching.

Race 3

6- WHO’S CLANG

2- IMPERIAL SEAL

7- LAILA’S A GEM

WHO’S CLANG will make his race debut in this today. His trials leading in have been full of merit and he looks ready to go. Comes from a stable who have an unbelievable record of horses winning on debut. He will be in peak condition and expecting him to figure strongly. IMPERIAL SEAL has a race experience edge on a lot of rivals in this today. He was 3rd last start when on debut for a new stable. Drawn in barrier 4 will give him plenty of options to push forwards or sit behind a potentially hot tempo and grab them late. LAILA’S A GEM also has race day experience, hasn’t missed the placings from 2 other career runs but this does look a slightly harder maiden today.

Race 4

1- EXALTED FIRE

3- BOOLCUNDA KING

6- GOOD APPROACH

EXALTED FIRE is an ever consistent runner who has a super record here on the parks. He has placed in his past 4 including 1 win. He was beaten by BOOLCUNDA KING last time, but he was caught wide that run and maps a lot better in this today, should be able to turn the tables. BOOLCUNDA KING is a last start winner having beaten some rivals from this race today. He is in form now fitter and should be respected on that recent run. GOOD APPROACH rises in grade for this but based on his recent form and how he maps, he should be respected at the EW price.

Race 5

7- DARING MOVE

5- CHAMPAGNE DREAMS

1- ALLEBOOM

DARING MOVE is a strong low weight chance here. He has won both other starts this prep (both with VORSTER in the saddle) and he again maps to get all of the favours on speed. Expecting to see him push forwards and be in a strong position through the run. CHAMPAGNE DREAMS may have pulled up with some issues in her last start so happy to forgive her on that run. She was competing strongly in a tougher grade last prep, so if she is back at her best she should be a big chance. ALLEBOOM is a resuming runner, he looks a big price for a horse who has a good record here on the track and is a 1st up winner. He will push forwards and be up near the leaders, if he is resuming with a good level of fitness, he will finish this off strongly and should at least be amongst the place getters.

Race 6

5- RECREANT

9- PARISIENNE MONDE

1- OUR DEEP AGENDA

RECREANT was 3rd when resuming behind a handy winner. He should take improvement from that race now here 2nd up. He is lightly raced and will carry a light weight after a claim from an apprentice so expect he will be sharp in this and finishing off strongly. PARISIENNE MONDE is the current race fave and looks a strong chance again. She has been around the mark having placed in all 3 runs this prep. She looks due a win and should prove a handful. OUR DEEP AGENDA is dropping in grade on recent runs. He should find this easier and if he brings his best, he should be forwards in running and be every chance

Race 7

12- HOPON HARRY

6- RITRATTO

11- UNLACED

HOPON HARRY 3rd up an fitter coming into this today. She will appreciate rising to the 1550m as well. She has won good races and has some class, she is a big chance today bring light at the weights and well suited now. If RITRATTO can recapture his best form, he looks a big EW hope. He has a super record here at this track/distance (3-2-0-0). She draws well and should be every chance to improve at a big price. ULACED is coming up in grade, but he should get every chance here as he maps to push forwards and will be prominent in running, but he also will carry on 53.5kgs after an apprentice claim, so expect he will be strong late and may prove hard to catch.

Race 8

14- THE GOV (VALUE OF DAY)

3- SASKATOON

8- LITTLE RICH BOY

Forgiving THE GOV for his last start effort. He was in the market that day but didn’t have a lot go his way. He almost ran down the in form Rich Gina 2 starts back and that is strong form for a race like this that is very similar. Like him drawn in a wider barrier here today as well. SASKATOON gave himself every chance when resuming with an on speed run. He did fade late but expect he will be fitter 2nd up now and in an easier race than that last start. A small query will be how he goes carrying a heavy weight, but expect he will and in a position that will give him every chance. LITTLE RICH BOY should get every chance to improve on recent form as he draws for a much softer run and is also fitter and 3rd up today.

Race 9

12- MY KHALIFA

3- HE’S EXCLUSIVE

7- DR DEE DEE

MY KHALIFA has been in super form of late including a last start win here at this track. He had a lot of work to do which made that last run impressive, so expecting from where he is drawn and being light at the weights, he will be every chance again. HE’S EXCLUSIVE can be forgiven for the last start run in The Balaklava Cup where he was pulled out of the run. He rates well for this grade and maps well for the parks track so expect an improved performance. DR DEE DEE is another at odds that could be an improver 2nd up now. He rises to the 1400m where he is much better suited and will be fitter for 2nd up. He is a big size horse so expecting he will be finishing off strongly.
