Lake Agawam is on debut for David Jolly and has been in the market at both Victorian runs. He sat off the speed in jump out at Strathalbyn and worked home nicely under a good hold and looks perfectly placed for his SA debut. RUNAWAY BELLE returns to SA and has been around the mark. She ran 2nd behind Bistro in the Cinderella Stakes this time last year and should run well. QUEEN IN THE NORTH was backed to run favourite behind Hot Sparky at Murray Bridge back in November.

 RACE 4 - Adelaide Galvanising Industries Handicap (1300 METRES)

Chicago Storm is a nice horse who has been out of the top three only twice in nine starts and he was back to his best beating Tahnee Tradition and by 2.5 lengths last start. That's a solid form and he gets the claim for Alana Livesey. He can win again. BELLINGER is a last start Morphettville winner beating Shez Betty. He gets the claim from a good gate and looks the danger to the favourite here. MY KHALIFA worked home well behind Struck By at Murray Bridge last week. He drops back in trip and has plenty of weight but his form last time in has him right in the mix here. YURI ROYALE is another up in weights who has a very good record here and fresh. He was well beaten in a good trial but must be respected form the good barrier. PERFECT ROUTE is up to a race like this on his best. He's won 5 of 10 here and gets an inside gate.

SEAFARING has only won the one race but has been in super form and was only grabbed late behind Last Girl Love at Murray Bridge last week. SANTELMO FUEGO was very good behind Last Girl Love at Murray Bridge last week, the quick back-up is a plus. SAMEDI is chasing three straight after a soft Werribee win two runs back before narrowly winning at Sale. He's found form as he gets out in trip and the 1950m should suit. PLAISIR is racing well and was a soft winner at Balaklava last time out. AMMO AMOR has been the one to firm and must be considered.

SELECTIONS: 7 MALINONG CLUB, 2 Catskill Mountain, 10 Seafaring, 8 Santelmo Fuego
PLAY: Backing MALINONG CLUB.

MORE SUGAR was well backed and too strong for Seafaring last time on the outer track. She should get a good run from the middle gate and take some beating again. RIALTOR was good running 2nd behind Stars With Hello last time out. He draws a nice gate and should run a big race. MISS KERMIE was a soft winner back in class at Balaklava when she won easily.

Stablemate LATVIAN showed talent in his 2yo season winning at $1.70 at Moonee Valley. He's first-up from a good gate and should be in the mix. MR HAVE A CHAT carried 60kg to victory here last time out. He is a bold front runner who will run another big race here. SABERMETRIC has shown ability and has been freshened. He maps to get a nice run here and is more than capable in this class. MANAGE THE CYCLE was good first-up making ground behind The Gov at Balaklava last week and gets in well with the claim. RUSTY HALO had excused in the same race and gets a nice gate. SNOW FALCON bolted in at Stony Creek before she was disappointing on face value in a harder race last time.
