BOOLCUNDA KING (Race 1)

STARS OF CARRUM (Race 7)

RACE 1 - Croser Handicap (1600 METRES)

Boolcunda King comes off a very good return when he found the line nicely behind Chicago Storm. He is a horse with upside and looks well placed here. STARTS WITH HELLO was back to winning form beating Rialtor last time. He gets the inside gate and will be in this for a long way. CALIBURN has been racing well winning easily at Strathalbyn before two solid efforts the latest behind Silent Surrente at Murray Bridge last week. He draws a middle gate and must be respected. IMPOSING SUSPECT comes out of the same race, ANNIKA maps to get a nice run.

SELECTIONS: 4 BOOLCUNDA KING, 8 Starts With Hello, 9 Caliburn, 10 Imposing Suspect
PLAY: Something on BOOLCUNDA KING each-way.

RACE 2 - Winning Edge Presentations Handicap (1200 METRES)

Press Down is a nice horse who was too smart for Dunmaghlas on the Parks last time. He draws out but looks above average and the one to beat. ICE SYMPHONY comes off two solid wins beating Sixteen Reason and Out Of Aflica. He draws out at has the big weight but is sure to be in the mix. VALIDATED resumes here and was spelled after winning at Murray Bridge. He was well beaten in a recent trial but has plenty of talent. HOPE AT HAND had solid form in his debut season and ha trialled OK for his return. He draws out but should go well. KLABEL is lightly raced and has trialled nicely. PRAIRIE FLOWER is a winner here and was good running 2nd behind Elite Icon two starts back.

SELECTIONS: 4 PRESS DOWN, 1 Ice Symphony, 6 Validated, 2 Hope At Hand
PLAY: Backing PRESS DOWN.

RACE 3 - White Claw Handicap (1200 METRES)

Open race. Bubble Over was good beating Rich Gina first-up from a break at Murray Bridge last week. Jamie Kah takes the ride from a sticky gate. KENYAN WONDER looks suited here from a good barrier. Her form this time around has been solid and she'll be strong late. LORD MORTON gets the inside gate and was a good winner in maiden company two starts back and was OK last time. EYES NEVER LIE was OK first-up from a spell and can be prominent here. VERSETTO has been racing well and draws a nice barrier. MR ROGER is a former Victorian who was good behind Another Award here last Aril. He has a handy record and must be respected. FOUR WINDS and MASTER AT ARMS can both figure.

SELECTIONS: 5 BUBBLE OVER, 6 Kenyan Wonder, 9 Lord Morton, 8 Eyes Never Lie
PLAY: Something on KENYAN WONDER each-way.

RACE 4 - Thomas Farms Cinderella Stakes (1050 METRES)

Tiz Enuf was a soft Sale winner on debut and looked to have plenty in the locker. She draws the inside gate, Ben Melham rides for the Freedan stable and she's the horse to beat. I AM IMMACULATE is on debut for the Corstens stable and has been solid in betting. ZELTA is on debut for the Waterhouse/Bott stable and has had the three trials leading in. She'll roll forward and make her presence felt. SHOW ROYALE was a Bendigo winner on debut and looks well placed here from a good barrier. SHESALLSHENANIGANS comes off a good Bendigo win. CHEROKEE MISS was a soft winner at Murray Bridge on debut. TARA RANI has trialled OK for the Clarken/O'Shea stable.

SELECTIONS: 1 TIZ ENUF, 8 I Am Immaculate, 2 Show Royale, 10 Zelta
PLAY: Watching on.

RACE 5 - C S Hayes Memorial Cup (1600 METRES)

Beltoro was a Flemington winner three starts back and has been solid his past couple behind Right You Are and So You See. He draws the perfect gate and has been solid in betting to suggest he's the horse to beat. EN FRANCAIS is the interesting runner. A good local mare unbeaten this time in work and has always promised plenty. This is a big step up in class and she draws a touch awkwardly. IRONCLAD returned from a good Perth campaign to run 6th behind Jigsaw in the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley back in January. His recent trial was only fair, he did this win race in 2021 and looks over the odds. DALASAN strips fitter for one run back and is 4 from 7 here on his home track. LE DON DE VIE ran 5th in this race in 2021 and must be respected.

SELECTIONS: 6 BELTORO, 9 En Francais, 3 Ironclad, 2 Dalasan
PLAY: Something on IRONCLAD at the price.

RACE 6 - SkyCity Matrice Stakes (1200 METRES)

Philonize is a very good filly who has won 6 of 10 and she was very good first-up from a break when too sharp for Outlaws Revenge. She gets out to 1200m which is the obvious test, but she has speed rolls and will take a power of beating from a good gate. CALYPSO REIGN won the Spring Stakes and was very good making ground running 3rd behind Jigsaw in the Australia Stakes. He's a good horse who could be a big threat late. KEMALPASA was good first-up in the Durbridge Stakes before running down the track behind Lofty Strike at Sandown. He's trialled well since and draws to get every chance. The Clarken/O'Shea pair NONAME LANE and AGREEABLE are both coming off very good campaigns and more than up to a race like this, they both might need a touch further. MORVADA can run well, REGALO DI GAETANO trialled up nicely and OUTLAWS REVENGE was good running 2nd behind Philonize first-up but has a sticky gate. ENDLESSLY has been good winning her two SA starts.

SELECTIONS: 11 PHILONIZE, 3 Calypso Reign, 1 Kemalpasa, 6 Outlaws Revenge
PLAY: Something on CALYPSO REIGN each-way.

RACE 7 - 4:15PM TAB Adelaide Cup (3200 METRES)

The Maher Eustace pair Persan and Grand Promenade have the proven two-mile form having both run in Melbourne Cups. Jamie has opted for PERSAN which is a good guide, they both will roll forward from sticky gates and look like winning at some stage. STARS OF CARRUM is the horse weighted to win. He has just the one win to his name, but he was strong late in the Lord Reims and the 3200m is right in his wheel house. The Stokes stable is chasing a third Cup in succession and ADMADE profiles well for a race like this. HIGHLAND JAKK hasn't done a lot wrong and draws a nice gate. TEAM CAPTAIN is the big improver. WAGON WHEEL draws to get a good run, likewise AURORAS SYMPHONY from the inside. SEBONNA will be the local making ground in the straight. TRUE MARVEL and CHALK STREAM must be respected despite wide gates.

SELECTIONS: 9 STARS OF CARRUM, 1 Persan, 2 Grand Promenade, 3 Amade
PLAY: Backing STARS OF CARRUM each-way.

RACE 8 - The Fotobase Group Morphettville Guineas (1600 METRES)

Dashing has competed at the top level. He ran a super race on speed on the Caulfield Guineas. He was caught wide and brave first-up before proving too good at Sandown last time. He draws a middle gate and is the horse to beat. STONECOAT is a NSW galloper who was a Gosford winner last time. He'll roll forward from the gate and must be respected. EASTERLY resumed with a soft win at Sale. The stable have a great record when they come to SA but she'll need some luck from a wide gate. THIRSTY GUEST is a progressive type chasing three wins on end. His latest was a Murray Bridge win last weekend and he should get a nice run from the inside gate. DUAL FUEL is a horse on the up and made ground in the same race. LORD GEORGE has upside.

SELECTIONS: 1 DASHING, 2 Stonecoat, 11 Easterly, 3 Thirsty Guest
PLAY: Keen on DASHING.

RACE 9 - Grand Syndicates Handicap (1050 METRES)

Taunting is a good horse who has won 4 of 10 and he hasn't raced since running 7th behind Snapper at Flemington in the spring. He trialled very smartly alongside Aitch Two Oh here last week and is the horse to beat from the good gate. SIYATA was a Murray Bridge winner two starts back and she trialled nicely here the other day. Stablemate CASHIN' CHEX is on debut for the Clarken/O'Shea stable and his form last time in was very good. SQUIZZY MIZZY comes off a last start Moonee Valley win and maps to get a nice run here. HONGBAO draws out but has been in good form since coming to SA. QUEMAN was game when 2nd behind Larimer Street last time and should be on speed and in the mix. MAGIC MAX trialled well behind Taunting and is capable of a big run fresh.

SELECTIONS: 2 TAUNTING, 10 Siyata, 6 Squizzy Mizzy, 1 Cashin Chex
PLAY: Keen on TAUNTING.
