RACE 1 - 1:40PM Haulmark Trailers Benchmark 56 Handicap (2200 METRES)
Hostess Susie came from well back to score a soft 2.2 length win over CHOSEN MISS, who is racing well, at Strathalbyn last time. She maps well and looks hard to beat again, that pair should be in the finish. EIGHT ON THE DOT won at Oakbank two runs back and then was far from disgraced in the Group 3 Lord Reims when 7th beaten 7.4 lengths behind Yellowbrick Road. If he repeats that he'll be hard to beat. SCOTTISH SOLIDER has been placed at his past four starts the latest at Bordertown behind Duke Of Bedford. He draws a middle gate and won't be far away. MASTER OF ZERPRISE has won nine races and was OK when 3rd behind Sandastan at Gawler last time.
SELECTIONS: 3 HOSTESS SUSIE, 5 Chosen Miss, 1 Eight On The Dot, 6 Scottish Solider
PLAY: Keen on HOSTESS SUSIE.

LORD OF LADIES is on debut for the Jon O'Connor stable and has been to the trials twice. EMOOKI MAGIC comes off a 2nd at Kangaroo Island behind Lingani and can run well.

RACE 4 - 3:25PM Sportsbet Make it Look Easy Benchmark 56 Handicap (1050 METRES)
Zufasta was good beaten 0.9 lengths behind Miss Mucinni at Oakbank before he worked home strongly beaten 2.2 lengths in 9th behind Emerald Court at Morphettville. That's good form for this. BELLALIQUE was a Murray Bridge winner in September and hasn't raced since running 11th beaten 5 lengths behind Exalted Dame here in October. Her fresh form is very good, and she gets in with no weight on her back. UTAH JOE has been in the money at two of three runs here and was OK beaten a length behind Miss Mucinni at Oakbank last time. VALLEY OF DARKNESS had backing and worked home well behind Clarence at Murray Bridge last time.
SELECTIONS: 3 ZUFASTA, 2 Bellalique, 6 Utah Joe, 8 Valley Of Darkness

RACE 5 - 4:00PM Clare Valley Toyota Class One Handicap (1400 METRES)
Super Alana has been placed at her past two behind Yeelanna here before another solid effort behind Garrire at Strathalbyn. She draws a nice gate, gets the claim, and should take some beating. CHAMBERS BAY was good beaten 2 lengths behind Kristobel on the Parks. He's only won the one race but has the inside barrier and looks well placed here. TRES BELLE was placed at Morphettville three runs back and comes off an OK effort when 6th beaten 2.3 lengths in the Kristobel race. OFF THE CUFF is around the mark running 2nd behind Sebring's Rose at Oakbank before finishing 4th in the Garrire race at Strathalbyn last time. BARDOUTES was a winner here in July and has trialled OK for his return and gets blinkers on for the first time.

PLAY: Backing SUPER ALANA.
RACE 6 - 4:35PM Agfert Rating 0 - 56 Handicap (1600 METRES)
Run On is chasing three wins in succession and followed a Kangaroo Island win beating Muffla with a narrow win over Gogolf Guru at Gawler last week. He gets some weight relief and should run well. TALES OF CONFLICT comes off a good run at Gawler when 2nd behind I'm Kenny at Gawler. He's been in the money at three of six here and should run well from a good gate. FOX D'OR comes out of stronger Morphettville race running 3rd behind Marimenko last time beaten 3.4 lengths. He races well here and should be in the mix. PULAMBI has been runner-up at both runs here and his Strathalbyn run when 3rd behind Lucille Rose two starts back was OK. VERZENAY has been racing well and worked midrace two runs back when 3rd behind Ofcourse I Will at Murray Bridge before another OK run beaten 2.6 lengths behind Qualis at Strathalbyn. She draws a good gate and is capable.
SELECTIONS: 1 RUN ON, 2 Tales Of Conflict, 4 Fox D'Or, 6 Pulambi
PLAY: Something on RUN ON and FOX D'OR.
RACE 7 - 5:10PM Atlas Event and Party Hire Rating 0 - 56 Handicap (1200 METRES)
Kublai was $3.70 into $3.10 favourite when 2nd behind Effortkat at Port Lincoln last time. He draws the inside and should give this a shake. KNICKPOINT is on debut for the Garret Lynch stable and was $5.50 into $4 at Tamworth last time and must be kept safe. THE GREY KING wears winkers for the first time and was a Strathalbyn winner last May. His first-up run back in November was OK and he resumes here from a wide barrier. LOTTO FIGHT was a good winner first-up for Kym Healy and was OK at Kangaroo Island two runs back before racing on speed and failing there last time. GRUELLING was a maiden winner here last July but would need to improve on recent starts. NOVUS ACTUS won here at $101 two runs back and was then beaten 6.3 lengths at Gawler last time behind Miss Subtly.
SELECTIONS: 5 KUBLAI, 4 Knickpoint, 3 The Grey King, 7 Lotto Fight
