RACE 1 - 12:07PM Adelaide Galvanising Industries Handicap (2250 METRES)

Jumpin' Jaguar comes to SA running 2nd behind Sunday Buzz at Moonee Valley two runs back before being well beaten behind Adelaide Cup winner Rebel Racer last time. That form and the drop in trip with the inside gate gives her a winning hope. DIXIE WHISTLER finds a winnable race here coming off a good effort when 2nd behind Wheels at Murray Bridge. She will roll forward from the sticky gate, race on speed and take some running down. ANOTHER FREE GLASS should appreciate the drop in trip, he loomed large but didn't run the 2500m out last time. He has won 2 of 5 here. PLAISIR is going well winning consecutive races before an OK effort behind Samedi here last week.

SELECTIONS: 5 JUMPIN' JAGUAR, 1 Dixie Whistler, 3 Another Free Glass, 4 Plaisir
PLAY: Backing JUMPING JAGUAR each-way.

 RACE 2 - 12:47PM Peter Elberg Funerals Handicap (1550 METRES)

Sorel Rising was a Bendigo winner two starts back before a good effort behind Dashing, who should have won the Guineas on Monday, that's very good form. He draws out but will be strong late and is the horse to beat. PORT ROYAL has been good in two SA runs for Ashton Downing, the latest running 3rd behind Splash Some Cash in the Port Lincoln Cup. He gets a nice gate and in well after the claim. EAGLELOU was good before Silent Surrente at Murray Bridge but draws awkwardly. PEACEMAKER comes off a good win back in class when he run over the top of Marvelous Night. LOOKS LIKE A LADY was a maiden winner there the same day over the mile and comes back in trip but draws a nice gate and gets the claim.

SELECTIONS: 2 SOREL RISING, 1 Port Royal, 3 Eaglelou, 4 Peacemaker
PLAY: Keen on SOREL RISING.

 RACE 3 - 1:22PM Thomas Farms Handicap (1000 METRES)

Spanish Heirloom is a fast mare with a good record here where she has been in the money at 9 of 11 starts. She hasn't raced since wining at Port Lincoln in December, draws the inside and will take plenty of running down with the claim. DARING MOVE draws to get a gun run here and hasn't raced since chasing home Jigsaw at Caulfield in November. She's won 3 of 5 here this track and trip and will be the danger. RICH GINA has come back well and just missed behind Bubble Over when she flashed home from the back first-up at Murray Bridge. She draws a good gate and will be strong late. GAZE GRISE returns here. She was a good winner over Diamonds before running down the track in the Sangster during last year's Carnival. She came back in September when down the track but is sure to run well in a race like this.

SELECTIONS: 2 SPANISH HEIRLOOM, 6 Daring Move, 7 Rich Gina, 5 Gaze Grise
PLAY: Backing SPANISH HEIRLOOM.

 RACE 4 - 2:02PM PFD Foods Maiden Plate (1250 METRES)

The Clarken/O'Shea stable have two  key runners. Sixteen Reasons is bursting to win a race flashing late behind Limited Risk at Murray Bridge last time. The jump to 1250m looks ideal. Stablemate TOAST THE DEEL has been placed at 2 of 4, was OK behind Starts With Hello last time and draws a nice gate. VEE ROD is a watch, a former Kiwi first-up here for the Gordon Richards and Damien Moyle stable. He's placed at 5 of 9 and must be respected. PINCHBECK has been placed at 3 of 5 the latest behind Arugamama on the outer track. He gets a middle gate and should be in the mix. WHO'S AFRAID ran well in the Limited Risk race at Murray Bridge and must be respected. FIORADA LAD was good on debut behind Is It Me here before chasing home Thirsty Guest and must be respected. FORTIS IN ARMIS has been around the mark ands trialled-up nicely for his return.

SELECTIONS: 13 SIXTEEN REASONS, 7 Pinchbeck, 3 Vee Rod, 14 Who's Afraid
PLAY: Backing SIXTEEN REASONS.

 RACE 5 - 2:37PM Quayclean Handicap (1000 METRES)

Plus Fours led throughout for a soft Pakenham win last time. He draws a sticky gate but will roll forward and take some catching with the claim. LAMOREE was solid behind Mr Have A Chat here last time and maps to get a good run from the gate. WINNING REVOLUTION draws awkwardly but comes off a good run behind Endlessly and should be in the mix. REALTIN went to Bordertown to tick off his maiden. He looks a horse with some upside. VAMPIRE SLAYER has been around the mark.

SELECTIONS: 1 PLUS FOURS, Lamoree, 2 Winning Revolution, 3 Realtin
PLAY: Happy to watch on.

 RACE 6 - 3:22PM Grand Syndicates Handicap (1250 METRES)

Barbaline was goof first-up from a spell when 2nd behind Not A Single Bid at Balaklava. She draws a sticky barrier but looks well placed in a race like this. Victorian SIAMESE draws a nice gate here and was a Cranbourne winner three starts back. She should run well. TWO TIMES TWICE should be ready to peak third-up here. He was good behind Qeyaady before running 4th Nicajon. Stablemate CHOSEN MISS was well backed but disappointing first-up for the Jolly stable when down the track behind Run And Tell at Strathalbyn. She could be an improver. STARLITE VALLEY was a Morphettville winner two starts back before running 3rd behind Shirshov but does draw a wide gate. SIXFOOTONE has been placed at two runs back and must be respected.

SELECTIONS: 8 BARBALINE, 5 Siamese, 7 Two Times Twice, 10 Chosen Miss
PLAY: Backing BARBALINE each-way, saving on CHOSEN MISS.

 RACE 7 - 4:03PM Fleurieu Milk Company Handicap (1400 METRES)

Kiki Express wasn't alone when run off her feet first-up behind Philonize. She draws a nice gate here and looks the big improver. PIIINK BEAUTY is a Tasmanian first-up for David Jolly. She was 2nd in the 1000 Guineas at Hobart two starts back and finished 4th in a $100k 3yo classic at Launceston last time. MY MALOO comes off a good win beating Fingolfin at Strathalbyn. This is a step up in class, but he draws a nice gate. ARUGAMAMA was placed here two starts back before beating Cararada on the big track last time. She draws a middle gate and should be thereabouts. Stablemate PARTY PRINCESS went to Strathalbyn to win her maiden but has to overcome the wide barrier. PRINCE TIKEA won 2 of 3 before a break and finished 3rd in the Hill Smith. He draws a nice gate and should run well but will be better over further. MORE REWARD is the horse to follow. She's on an Oaks path and will be hitting the line hard. PRETTY RELIABLE is a winner here. HOLMES ran OK in the My Maloo race at Strathalbyn.

SELECTIONS: 1 KIKI EXPRESS, 6 Piiink Beauty, 7 Arugamama, 3 Prince Tikea
PLAY: Backing KIKI EXPRESS.

 RACE 8 - 4:42PM The Junction Handicap (1400 METRES)

Chicago Storm is on the back-up after chasing home Bellenger here last week. He's lightly raced with a good record and gets in well with the claim, he'll just need some luck from a sticky barrier. NICAJON is racing well beating Leon's Shout here two starts back before a handy 4th behind Apache Star last time. He draws a gate and looks the danger. ALSVIOR is around the mark and should be in the mix from a middle gate. PERFECT COMMAND is coming off 2 wins from his past 3 at Port Lincoln and does race well here. RUN AND TELL comes off a good last start win and should be handy to the speed from a good barrier.

SELECTIONS: 3 CHICAGO STORM, 8 Nicajon, 9 Run And Tell, 1 Alsvior
PLAY: Keen on CHICAGO STORM to bounce back.

 RACE 9 - 5:20PM Furphy Handicap (1000 METRES)

Qeyaady is a former Victorian who should have won first-up in SA before she was a good winner here two starts back. She was good again when 5th behind Bubble Over at Murray Bridge last time, gets the inside gate and looks hard to beat again. LARKHAM draws a sticky gate but has a great record this track and trip with 5 wins and 4 placings. He was good making ground form well back behind Qeyaady last time, gets in well after the claim and should be fighting out the finish again. SHIRSHOV was too good at her SA debut beating Extra Mile and should be thereabouts despite a wide barrier. MISS REMSKI was a Gawler winner beating Exalted Dame who has won since and then was too smart for Testa Dexta at Mt Gambier. She draws a nice gate and should be in the finish. THE GOV was a good winner first-up from a spell beating Rusty Halo who won here last week, and she maps to get a nice run. NALEIGH caught the eye behind Shirshov last time and draws to get a nice run.

SELECTIONS: 3 QEYAADY, 2 Larkham, 6 Shirshov, 12 Miss Remski
PLAY:  Backing QEYAADY each-way.
