Not sure what petrol is left in the tank but if there is some, 5 Crimson Vine (Bet Now:  $SP.00) wins again. Dominant win on Adelaide Cup Day two back before going to 2500m two weeks ago where she was there to be beaten but she found under pressure to fend them off and get the job done. Only has to hold her form and she wins again.

6 Master Of Zerprise (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is racing really well at the moment for Team Jaensch and rates highly. He ran over 2500m on the course proper here two weeks ago where he got back in the run and did make up ground but he was never really threatening behind the very much in form Crimson Vine. Back in trip suits and has a good track/distance record.

2 Shakespeare (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a knockout hope. Team Jolly trained gelding that comes to town off the back of a Streakie Bay Cup triumph, which followed a plain effort into the Port Lincoln Cup. He is a city class horse when right and off a win, he commands some level of respect.

1 A Samurai Mind (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has the engine under the hood and looks hard to beat. He was a spectacular debut winner at Murray Bridge before going to the Adelaide Guineas on Adelaide Cup Day where he was 1/1 but in a barrier trial pretty much and he just didn’t have the change up speed but stayed on and was good in defeat. Back to this level, he appeals.

3 Bolted In (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is on the seven day back up for Matty Seyers after racing last Saturday at Oakbank over 1400m where he got a fair way out of his ground and wasn’t entirely happy around the tight track but he picked up and was pretty good late in the piece. Like him up in trip, bigger track, he is one of the hardest to beat.

4 Artful Tawny (Bet Now:  $SP.00) will land on speed and take beating. He was a big price two weeks ago on the course proper here where he landed outside the speed and he tried hard, but just couldn’t quite see it through when second to Under The Cone. He was 1250m to 1600m so with room for improvement, he’s in the mix.

2 Copperfield (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is third up from a spell and should just about be at peak fitness for David Jolly. He ran over 1200m two weeks ago on the course proper here where he got a fair way out of his ground but I really liked the way he found the line late in the piece behind Delightful Shecky. Up in trip I love and with a more positive ride, he’ll take beating.

5 Field The Moment (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is three weeks between runs since racing over 1400m here where she got back off the speed and found the line well enough but was never really a threat to Texan Windstorm. That race had depth to it. This race, to my eye, does not. Hard to beat.

1 Fanmalia (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is four weeks between runs since a strong win at Murray Bridge. He ran over 1400m and gave them a start and a beating, launching late to finish best in a good effort. Off that, 1550m is no issue and if he gets a drag into the race, he’ll be quite dangerous.

2 Storyteller (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a talented four year old for Michael Hickmott that is heading in the right direction. He resumed three weeks ago on the Parks track where he had a suck run in transit. Just a matter of getting clear and once clear air came, he launched over the top for an outstanding win. Natural improvement, he’ll take beating.

6 Mintulee (Bet Now:  $SP.00) can bounce back into the winners list. Ryan Balfour trained filly that ran on Adelaide Cup Day where she was half tardy away and that sealed her fate when down the track behind Lovely Lookin. The win prior was very good and she does race best when on speed so if that eventuates here, she’ll be hard to run down.

8 Everly (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Clarken/O’Shea trained filly that resumes. This girl is first up, having not raced since Oct 7 at Murray Bridge when getting every chance from behind the speed but didn’t fire late and was a bit on the plain side. Been given a good break and she looked sharp in a recent Oakbank trial win so keen to see her resume.

1 Karavas (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks the winner, all things being equal. Team Jolly trained filly that created such a good impression in the Spring, winning 2/2, the latest run coming at Flemington on Oaks Day in what has turned out to be a red hot form race, with four winners coming out of it. If she’s ready to go, she wins.

2 All Woke (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a good mover I feel for Phillip Stokes. This filly debuted two weeks ago on the course proper where she got a suck run in transit before angling inside and she got better as the race went on, driving hard to win in a tight finish but she was strong to the line. Think she wants further but she will be stronger than most at the end.

5 Miss Mahjong (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Matt Cumani trained filly that debuted on her home deck at Ballarat when leading on the fence and she tried her guts out but just couldn’t quite see it through but was pretty good in defeat behind Harpalee. Not sure I could back to her to win but a must for exotics.

2 Bond Street Beau (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks ready to win for Clarken/O’Shea. He ran over 1800m two weeks ago on the course proper and was good from off the speed, closing his race with purpose, just missing out on the win when second to Missile Star. Hard fit now and up in trip, I think he’s one of the better bets on the program.

3 Capricorn Ridge (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is knocking on the door. Matty Seyers trained gelding that ran third to Missile Star a fortnight back, getting a fair way out of his ground but really liked the way he found the line to be beaten a length. Extra 150m is ideal and dangerous if he can settle closer.

5 Scenic Host (Bet Now:  $SP.00) can run a bold race for Michael O’Leary. This mare ran in the Mount Gambier Cup last time out where she got back to near last in the run, trying to make a sustained run and tried hard but couldn’t quite see it through behind Thrill Kill. Back to this level, she can win for sure.

4 East Indiaman (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has a fab track/distance record and back to this level, I think he is one of the better gambles on the program. He ran last Saturday at Oakbank in a strong open handicap and just felt the pinch late behind a Stakes class mare, Second To Nun. Back to this level, looks to lead for fun, he’ll take running down.

5 Zebella (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is three weeks between runs for Phillip Stokes since racing over 1400m here where she got into a decent spot near the speed and she tried her guts out but couldn’t quite finish it off behind the in form Texan Windstorm. Track/distance winner, she appeals against these.

11 Knightstown (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a hard horse to catch at times but his best is more than good enough to be around the mark. Okay-ish in defeat fresh behind Zebella before racing two weeks back on the course proper where he got back to near last in the run and made up minimal headway. He can win…but realistically, I think first four is more ideal.

1 Bellalique (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has found winning form and she can certainly go on with it. This mare was racing really well without winning but that all changed at Strathalbyn last time where she was just off the speed before Toeroek angled her wide on the turn to build the revs and away she went for a dominant win. Yet to really stamp herself as Saturday class but she finds a winnable race in town.

4 Alainge (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a talented filly for Stuart Padman that can bounce back. Four weeks between runs since resuming at Murray Bridge over 1400m when wide no cover for the trip and that hard run just told late in the piece behind Fanmalia in a total forgive. Should get a much better run in transit and is dangerous.

6 Cuban Waters (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is capable with her best. She comes here with fresh legs, just under four weeks between runs since racing over 1200m at Clare when near the speed and tried hard but couldn’t quite finish it off when third to Effortkat. Not sure I could back her to win but a must for exotics.

2 Delightful Shecky (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has to be respected as one of the key chances. Dylan Caboche trained gelding that resumed on the course proper two weeks ago where he was a very impressive, settling just off the speed before angling clear and away he went with good change up speed. If there is natural improvement, he’ll take beating.

5 Clarence (Bet Now:  $SP.00) commands respect for David Jolly. Looked a good thing when resuming at Murray Bridge and duly saluted. He then went to 1000m at Murray Bridge four weeks ago and tried hard but found a couple better when third to Lunar Hero. Third up, hard fit, up in trip, he appeals.

13 Free Vino (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Richards/Moyle trained gelding that resumes. This guy hasn’t raced since New Years Day at Murray Bridge over the mile when placing behind Second To Nun, who has since gone on to prove herself as a Stakes class mare, so that clearly reads well for a 64 and while 1250m is short of his best, I suspect he will be strong at the end.
