There are nine races on the Adelaide program this week but not very large fields.

That can make things tricky regarding price and speed in the races.

A mare resumes in the last and she ended last campaign on a high. So We Are was taking on the good 3yos last campaign and did run very honestly.

She was close in the Laelia, just faded in the Auraria and then came back to the mile in the Adelaide Guineas which she won, coming from off midfield.

There might be a little thought from Phillip Stokes of a dash at the late part of the Spring in Melbourne for this daughter of So You Think.

The claim brings her in well and can settle off the pace but work home strongly.

Another new season 4yo is one to consider closely earlier in the day.

Classic Weiwei got all the way to the South Australian Derby but probably found that distance a bit too far back in May.

His lead ups were great with a win in the Port Adelaide Guineas and a placing in the Chairmans.

He has now had a good break and a trial and did win first up last preparation.

There seems to be nice tempo over the mile from other runners and that set up, along with the trip, does work well.

There is no way he will be part of the early action but the small field will mean he's not that far behind. We may just get a decent price because of his pattern.
