6. OMNISCIENT
2. LONGTAN LUKE
8. LA BALLE DE FLAMME
VALUE RUNNER
8. LA BALLE DE FLAMME
SUMMARY
(1) RYANS JOURNEY is a very smart horse who has come back to the track from a lengthy spell in fantastic form.Was outsprinted by the very fast mare Clarenden Serene last start after working to the grab the lead.Will lead easier here and the short trip will assist.Huge chance!!
(6) OMNISCIENT is a very promising type who has won at his 2 latest track appearances.Last start from the death over the talented Jennas Beach Girl and the start prior over Clarenden Serene from in front in a 57.6 1/2.Huge danger!!!
(2) LONGTAN LUKE is not long back from a spell and this Mt.Gambier visitor is very good.Last start winner in Vic over Shakas Spirit after leading and the run prior was a close runner up to a star in Givitaname who would win this!!Leader or close to it here.Right in this!!!
(8) LA BALLE DE FLAMME is another very nice horse engaged here who has no luck at all at his past 2 starts since resuming from a spell.Likely to grab leaders back here on the Fav and polemarker.Dont leave out!!!
RACE 2.
TOP 4.
2. STUNNING BIRD
10. COCOLOSAL
8. DANCING ROCKET
9. RAZA SHARP LOMBO
VALUE RUNNER
8. DANCING ROCKET
SUMMARY
(2) STUNNING BIRD is a former star juvenile filly who went off the boil slightly fora while but appears as if she is on the way back to her top.Last start 7th on paper doesnt read all that flash but she was desperately unlucky behind Holme Ok.A decisive winner the run before she will lead here and take a stack of getting around.
(10) COCOLOSAL ditto for this talented mare in that she should have finished a lot closer last start when unable to get a clear passage in the straight and flashed home 6th to Port Decanter.Won the start prior and can do work.Massive danger!!
(8) DANCING ROCKET was another who was finishing very hard 5th in that race won by Port Decanter after having 1x1 cover.Did win her 2 starts prior to that and she is another who is tough.Each way forever.
(9) RAZA SHARP LOMBO was good 1st up when led last start and held on ok 4th to Pandemania in a slick 58.2 1/2.Is very good at his best and that run will fit him for this assignment.Major threat!!
RACE 3. SA TROTTERS CUP
TOP 4.
12. DANNY BOUCHEAU
13. SOLAR ACTIVE
1. GAVLENN RYOSHY
2. SAYBIA (1ST EMERG)
4. ANTS
VALUE RUNNER
4. ANTS
SUMMARY
(12) DANNY BOUCHEAU this multiple GR1 winning trotter is right back to his best as seen last start winning over the smart Yentls Star and that decisive victory brought up the double.Can go right on with it now and establish himself amongst the Grand circuit now.Huge chance!!
(13) SOLAR ACTIVE has always had a stack of talent and is in good form at present as seen last start winning in fine style over Yentls Star as well.Is a high speed type who will trail into the race and if the tempo is good can get over the top.
(1) GAVLENN RYOSHY is another in red hot form as seen last start here in SA leading and winning with plenty in reserve over River Red.3 starts ago this bloke was a close 5th to top shelfer Acacia Ridge.Leader here and take a lot of catching.
(2) SAYBIA is the best of the SA trotters and really has some ability winning at his past 5 starts.Is the Emerg here but if gains a start will figure.
other chances
(4) ANTS this ex Nzer is having his 1st Aust start here but did trial very well in readiness recently in Vic 2nd in that trial to the extra smart Salutetocabby and beating home the outstanding Heyzeal.Huge watch.
(9) SIMON TAPERTIT has won his past 8 starts here in SA albeit in weaker grade and this is a lot different.Has a lovely turn of foot however and can be the blowout if the pace is on.
RACE 4. SA DERBY
TOP 4.
7. MAPUA LEGEND
11. RENAISSANCE MAN
8. MODERN WARRIOR
2. KAMWOOD JACK
VALUE RUNNER
8. MODERN WARRIOR
SUMMARY
(7) MAPUA LEGEND this former kiwi is unbeaten in his 3 Aust starts and really couldnt have been more impressive.Last start won by a space in a 56.1 1/2 and prior to that was too good for the very smart Contemporaryvision who has won since.On debut here he was way too good for the exciting Finn Lee who has won a string of races since.Is electrifying.Watch out here!!!
(11) RENAISSANCE MAN the wraps are huge on this horse.Some good judges rate him the best of his age group in the land.Im not one of those albeit he is very good.Is 1st up here but did win a trial last week in a 57.3 1/2 over GR1 winner Grinnersawinner and the extra smart Composed.Huge danger!!
(8) MODERN WARRIOR is unlucky to in this crop of really nice 3yos as he is really a smart horse in his own right.Last start winner over the top filly Its My Pleasure.Can be the blowout here.
(2) KAMWOOD JACK wasnt overly impressed with his win here in the St.Leger last week as he looked like he was going to be swamped by stablemate Diceneasy.Did find and was a great run 4th to Smiling Shard in the Gr1 ABC final.Leader here and take getting around.
RACE 5.
TOP 4.
3. RIVERBOAT ROSIE
11. ISLAND BRAVE
1. PANDEMANIA
6. DIONYSUS GOLD
VALUE RUNNER
6. DIONYSUS GOLD
SUMMARY
(3) RIVERBOAT ROSIE is a former Qld Oaks winner with immense talent well graded here.Has come here to SA and has been terrific winning at her 1st run from in front and last 2 starts runner up to smart horses.Leader here and the one to beat.
(11) ISLAND BRAVE is a very nice Vic horse who has settled well into SA racing.Sat outside the above mare on his SA debut and was too good and then last start did a power of work wide no cover and held on bravely 3rd to port Decanter.Right in this.
(1) PANDEMIC has won at its past 3 starts here in SA and been very impressive in doing so with his big turn of high speed.Well suited here from the pole and very hard to hold out here.
(6) DIONYSUS GOLD is a very nice horse who is tough and will race in his customary death seat here once more.Last start 2nd to the polemarker here after doing all the work was fantastic.One easy Qtr will give see him right in the mix here.
other chances
(10) HOLME OK is in devastating form of late.Last start was a very god win over Riverboat Rosie sprinting quickly.One for the multis at odds again.
RACE 6. SA CUP
TOP 4.
9. SMOKEN UP
2. MISTER ZION
6. CINCINNATI KID
7. DIAMONDS AND FURS
VALUE RUNNER
6. CINCINNATI KID
SUMMARY
(9) SMOKEN UP is an out and out champ!!Has been runner up at his past 3 starts in the Vic Cup to Bettors Strike in the Miracle Mile to Monkey King & The NZ cup to that same champ.Looks the testing material here.
(2) MISTER ZION is on his way to the top.Is a very smart young horse racing in red hot form.Last start won the Cobram Cup in great style from in front in a slick 56.8 last 1/2.Leader here(at least until Smoken Up inevitably comes around) and very hard to get around.Danger!!!
(6) CINCINNATI KID this horse has electric high speed.May have the sharpest turn of foot in the land when saved for one run.The Fav will have to work into the race and this bloke will sit back and smoke the pipe!!Blowout hope at odds!!!
(7) DIAMONDS & FURS is another Grand circuit performer engaged here.Was placed in an ID heat last year and this race is certainly not beyond him.Will most likely sit parked.Dont leave out.
RACE 7.
TOP 4.
7. TRIPLE VANCE
3. CULLENS HOPE
2. SEAFIELD CULLEN
5. BLADE OF GLORY
VALUE RUNNER
5. BLADE OF GLORY
SUMMARY
(7) TRIPLE VANCE is a very smart horse indeed from Vic and is in really good form in very strong races there in his home state.Last start caught the eye with his finishing burst along the pegs when 5th to the star Mister Zion in the Cobram Cup.Looks well placed here.The one to beat.
(3) CULLENS HOPE is another racing well in better grade of late.Last start 5th to the nice mare Carnival Rose was good and the run prior was a close up 3rd to Campbell Wallace after finding the front.Will settle close here.Gets his chance.
(2) SEAFIELD CULLEN This ex NZer has been very good since coming here to SA to race.Did win 3in a row recently and all were from in front.That looks his spot here once more.Massive winning hope.
(5) BLADE OF GLORY liked the way this talented type found the line last start 5th to top liner Ti Voglionebene and that followed a really good effort when 2nd in that race won by Campbell Wallace.A must to include here!!1
RACE 8.

4. TAYARNA MIA
9. CLARENDEN SERENE
7. SICKLE MOND
1. BE WATCHING
VALUE RUNNER
7. SICKLE MOND
SUMMARY
(4) TAYARNA MIA is a extra smart Vic mare who has a stack of gate speed and ability to match.should find the front here and last start was a terrific effort runner up to the smart Golden Showgirl.Huge winning hope.
(9) CLARENDEN SERENE is a mare with a huge turn of high speed as seen last start when she rounded up the extra talented Ryans journey and ran by him with ease.A repeat here will put this mare in with an undeniable chance!!
(7) SICKLE MOND was a real eye catcher last start when flashed home late 2nd in the race won by Kadek who led.Is a smart mare at her best and will benefit from that run.If the pace is on can win this.
(1) BE WATCHING hard to fault this ex kiwi mares form as she was runner up twice in good company and then broke through last start for a well deserved win leading all the way.Leader or leaders back here.Danger!!!

TOP 4.
1. AALYAH ROSE
2. UNIONS UNITED
6. GO ANDRE
3. PARTOFTHEUNION
VALUE RUNNER

SUMMARY
(1) AALYAH ROSE is a talented filly with a dash of speed.Last start 3rd to Repelem was good as was her debut effort when a tough run 2nd to Unions united who had the gun run.Top pick.
(2) UNIONS UNITED was a terrific win on debut albeit did get all the favours leaders back.Has been around the money in 2 subsequent runs.Huge chance here as does look the leader.
(6) GO ANDRE was a shade unlucky last start 4th to Hes Cheap in the kindergarten as he did cop a check in transit yet still found the line.Include here.
(3) PARTOFTHEUNION was in the market at his debut for an astute team so must have shown his connections something.Was ordinary in that run but may improve here.
