She's won 5 of 14 and looks perfectly placed here down in the weights with the help of a claim.

Stablemate MR HAVE A CHAT can run a cheeky race here down in the weights. ZOULAH trialled nicely and her form last time in work as very good, she is a winner fresh. STAR HILLS has been freshened since chasing home Philonize and does race well here.

RACE 3 – 3:10PM Carlton Draught Handicap (1600 METRES)
HOPON HARRY has a good record and was back to winning form beating Wild Imagination at Morphettville. He draws out but gets the claim for an in-form Ellis Wong and looks the one to beat.

LACRIMA has been racing well and was too good for Tubby Two Tracks at Morphettville last time. THE MAP resumes here and hasn't raced since winning over 2500m at Morphettville in November.

PLAY: Backing HOPON HARRY.
RACE 4 - 3:40PM Bridges Event Centre Handicap (1000 METRES)

BLASPHEME worked home well last time and draws a nice gate.

Looks a nice kick off for EN FRANCAIS. She created a big impression winning her Gawler maiden on debut and was a winner there in July. She draws out but the 1400m first-up looks ideal after some key scratchings. JACK THE LAD ran well first-up in SA and must be respected. PONTEDERA has won 2 of his past 3 the latest here over Spin The Reward and draws wide. LAST GIRL LOVE is another who is more than up to a race like this. STAR ESPRESSO must be included.
SELECTIONS: 9 EN FRANCAIS, 3 Jack The Lad, 4 Pontedera, 10 Last Girl Love

He has a great record here and the claim from a middle gate gives him his chance to find winning form and he's nice each-way odds. SABERMETRIC is a nice horse who bounced back to winning form last time beating Danish Fortune. He draws a nice middle gate and is going to give this a big shake. QUEMAN is a nice horse who has been in the money at 6 of 8 starts and was a good winner second-up, He draws wide but should be in this for a long way. QEYAADY was good first-up from a break when just beaten My Ruby and he has had another trial since.

SEAFARING is racing well and has been in the money at 5 of 6 here. EAGLELOU is mixing form but was a Gawler winner two starts back and must be respected.

RACE 8 - 5:40PM Klose's Supermarket Rating 0 - 56 Handicap (1100 METRES)
RICHED was runner-up at Oakbank two runs back behind Chevite and the move to the bigger track enhances his chances of being the one charging home late in the small field. GENERAL MINT was runner-up behind Cork Harbour at Morphettville two starts back before running 4th behind Daskulya here. He draws the inside gate and should give them something to chase. BETTA EDDIE wasn't beaten far when 6th behind Kayseri at Strathalbyn. RIZSKI got back and was only fair behind Sir Grumpy at Oakbank last week.

Stablemate PROUD MARY is another who has been around the mark at Port Lincoln and draws a nice gate. STRATRESSA is second-up in SA and could be an improver.
