Contrasting Autumn campaigns will kick off when racing returns to Morphettville for the first time in 2023 in the $107,250 Listed Durbridge Stakes on Saturday.

The 1100m feature will see the return to racing of exciting Richard and Chantelle Jolly-trained three-year-old filly See You In Heaven who is headed towards the Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington in March.

South Australia's leading stable also have Kemalpasa nominated for his return.

Will Clarken and Niki O'Shea have four nominations led by Beau Rossa and Ironclad coming off WA summer campaigns with He's A Balter and Parsifal rounding out their quartet.

David Jolly has Spring Stakes winner Calypso Reign set to resume while there is plenty of interest among the Victorian nominations.

Peter Moody has the lightly-raced Oxley Road nominated while Tony and Calvin McEvoy have Scissor Step set to debut for the stable.

Formerly with Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra, the four-year-old has won four of his 16 starts.

Warrnambool horseman Tom Dabernig also has an interesting nomination, Embeller, a former New South Wales galloper from the John Thompson stable.
