FINAL FIELDS

RACE 1 - 11:32AM The Junction Handicap (1100 METRES)

CHILLED is an interesting runner. She won a Rosehill trial before being placed at Warwick Farm on debut and then went to the Sunshine Coast running 3rd behind Tracy's Spirit. That form looks OK for a race like this. STRETAN ANGEL is on debut for the Stokes stable and looked pretty good winning a recent jump-out here. She draws out but looks talented. CHEROKEE MISS was a good winner on debut at Murray Bridge last year and only fair first-up in the Cinderella Stakes on Cup Day behind Show Royale but should improve. MISTAVAIN was punched out to win his latest jump-out at Cranbourne. DODD ran well behind Tacito in the Magic Millions race at Murray Bridge. HARLEY'N'ROSE was too good for AIR ASSULT at Gawler on debut and draws the inside gate.

SELECTIONS: 6 CHILLED, 8 Stretan Angel, 5 Cherokee Miss, 4 Mistavain
PLAY: Something on CHILLED.

RACE 2 - 12:07PM Croser Handicap (1600 METRES)

THIRSTY  GUEST is a nice type who was OK behind Stonecoast in the Guineas here on Cup Day. He won his previous two and draws to get a nice run. TAPINFORPAR is on the quick back-up from winning smartly on the Parks last week. He draws a sticky gate but can make his own luck early and give this a big shake. PRINCE TIKEA was good through the line first-up behind Party Princess. He's on a Derby path and going to be better over further but looks well over the odds. BLAKMAX made good ground behind Merdius at Flemington last time and back out to the mile suits. SAILORS BOOK was good behind Dashing at Sandown before running a $2.70 fav at Warrnambool last time. PEARL ADIOS will appreciate getting out further in trip after a good maiden win last time.

SELECTIONS: 3 THIRSTY GUEST, 4 Tapinforpar, 2 Prince Tikea, 1 Blakmax
PLAY: Something on PRINCE TIKEA each-way.

RACE 3 - 12:42PM Peter Elberg Funerals Handicap (Heat 2 SA Sprint Series) (1050 METRES)

JOSEYLIN led and was narrowly beaten behind Lady Solly at Moonee Valley last time. She maps well from the gate and looks perfectly placed here and can find winning form. SQUIZZY MIZZY draws a sticky gate but was good when 3rd behind Queman here on Cup Day. She'll make her own luck and looks well placed here. MAGIC MAX was good closing late running 2nd in the same race. He'll get a soft run form the gate and is going to be a big threat late. RUSHAWAY LAD is well up to winning a race like this. He was well backed when he got well back behind Aston Rapova here back in November. He draws a nice gate and must be respected. FIRST DIVISION comes off a Ballarat win and draws to get a soft run.

SELECTIONS: 5 JOSEYLIN, 2 Squizzy Mizzy, 3 Magic Max, 4 Rushaway Lad
PLAY: Keen on JOSEYLIN.

RACE 4 - 1:17PM Furphy Handicap (Heat 2 Autumn Series) (1200 METRES)

VERSETTO has been racing in good form and tried hard running 2nd behind Pontedera on the Parks last time. He'll ride the speed and looks well placed in this class again. EXTRA MILE was good running 2nd behind Shirshov before beating Bubble Over last time. He gets some weight relief and should be in the finish. SIYATA was a good Murray Bridge winner three starts back and got back in a leader dominated race last time. She can figure in a race like this and looks good each-way value. WOLFBURN is a former Darwin galloper who can run a cheeky race fresh here over the sprint trip. SMILING FROM ABOVE is lightly-raced and was good first-up behind Phillyvonne at Strathalbyn when she got a long way back. AIGUILETTE can improve second-up.

SELECTIONS: 4 VERSETTO, 1 Extra Mile, 7 Siyata, 10 Smiling From Above
PLAY: Something on SIYATA each-way.

RACE 5 - 1:57PM Fleurieu Milk Company Handicap (2000 METRES)

IMPOSING SUSPECT was a Gawler winner four starts back and comes off a nice effort behind Aitch D'Amico here on Cup Day. He should get a good run and getting to the 2000m trip looks ideal. ISOLA SACRA was a Kyneton winner two starts back before running 2nd there last time when favourite. She draws a nice gate and should be somewhere in the finish. Fellow Victorian INORDINATE has been around the mark  running 4th behind Highballer at Sandown last time. SILENT DON looks ready to improve here out to 2000m. He was sent out favourite behind LORD OF DARKNESS at Clare last time but does draw wide. Stablemate MOJO CLASSIC was sent out favourite and disappointed at Clare. He draws the inside and should be in the mix. PLAISIR has been racing well, will roll forward and must be respected. BACK IN ACTION is chasing three wins on end.

SELECTIONS: 4 IMPOSING SUSPECT, 7 Isola Sacra, 1 Inordinate, 9 Silent Don
PLAY: Something on IMPOSING SUSPECT each-way.

RACE 6 - 2:37PM Grand Syndicates supporting SAROA Handicap (1100 METRES)

CHOSEN MISS trialled well before she was well backed and didn't fire first-up in SA. She wasn't beaten far behind stablemate Two Times Twice on the Parks last time. Drawing out suits and she can find winning form here. EFFORTKAT is super consistent running 3rd here behind Endlessly and then 4th here behind Starlite Valley before being placed at Clare. She is winless form eight starts here but has solid each-way appeal in an open race. Stablemate TWO ODD SOX was a Clare winner beating Sanbuck. LAKEHURST draws a nice gate and made good ground behind Roxy Blue last time. YOSEMITE was sent out favourite at Bendigo last time, BLUEGRASS BIJOUX wasn't beaten far at Flemington at big three starts back and PRAIRIE FIRE is a winner here, draws wide but gets some weight relief.

SELECTIONS: 10 CHOSEN MISS, 5 Effortkat, 13 Lakehurst, 6 Yosemite
PLAY: Backing CHOSEN MISS.

RACE 7 - 3:17PM Manihi Classic (1100 METRES)

PHILONIZE has been well backed since markets went up and the drop back to 1100m is ideal. She was run down by  ANOTHER AWARD on Cup day over 1200m but meets her 3.5kg better at the weights. She might get some pressure from QUEMAN, who led throughout to win smartly here on Cup Day, and that could ultimately determine how strong she is late. BLESS HER is a good mare who ran 5th in the Proud Miss here last year and 2nd behind Mileva in the G3 Monash at Caulfield last July. Her fresh form is sound and she gets the blinkers again. TYCOON HUMMA has a handy record, was a good Sandown winner two starts back and will be hitting the line hard. PRAIRIE FLOWER doesn't run many bad races, has a good record here and maps to get a nice run.

SELECTIONS: 4 PHILONIZE, 5 Queman, 2 Bless Her, 1 Another Award
PLAY: Backing BLESS HER the place.

RACE 8 - 3:57PM Grand Syndicates Handicap (1600 METRES)

EAGLELOU is bursting to win a race having finished 2nd at his past four the latest behind Sorel Rising which is good form for a race like this. He draws out but gets the claim and deserves to break through. MONTEPULCIANO has a good record this track and trip and comes off a good effort Cup Day when 2nd behind Aitch D'Amico here on Cup Day. He stays at the mile and gets the claim. MISS KERMIE draws out but was a good winner at Balaklava before a nice effort when 2nd behind Rialtor last time. SUPER SOLAR comes off a solid effort running 2nd at Sandown behind Highballer and must be respected here. LI'L HANK was a good winner back in class and maps to get a good run. Stablemate WHISKEY 'N' WOMEN should be thereabouts. ANGASTON maps to get a gun run on the inside and was good running 4th behind Chicago Storm.

SELECTIONS: 3 EAGLELOU, 2 Montepulciano, 10 Miss Kermie, 5 Super Solar
PLAY: Something on EAGLELOU.

RACE 9 - 4:34PM Clare Lindop Stakes (1600 METRES)

AS TIME GOES BY is a seven-start maiden who competed in good races last year and comes to SA having been a beaten favourite in both her runs this year at $2.15 at Pakenham and then $1.95 at Ballarat last time out. She gets the blinkers again, the money is again there to suggest she's the horse to beat. The danger and value is ZENNZELLA won the Wakeful before finishing 4th in the Oaks in the Spring. She was only fair first-up from a spell in the Vanity back in February but looks a genuine improver here and she'll only get better the further she gets this preparation. Stablemate ZOE'S PROMISE was good first-up from a spell running 3rd behind Meridius at Flemington and gets an inside gate. Of the locals KIKI EXPRESS meets PARTY PRINCESS 4kg better at the weights on last time they met, ARUGAMAMA is another worse at the weights but was well backed last time in the same race to run favourite. MORE REWARD is another who will get better over even further, BILLIE BRONX is unbeaten and looks a progressive type while BRAZEN LADY comes off a Sandown win.

SELECTIONS: 6 AS TIME GOES BY, 2 Zennzella, 3 Kiki Express, 8 Billie Bronx
PLAY: Something on ZENNZELLA each-way.

RACE 10 - 5:14PM Goodwood Carnival at Morphettville (April 29th to May 20th) Handicap (1050 METRES)

ZEBELLA has been good since resuming winning first-up here beating Cararada before proving too sharp for TEST THE LAW at Gawler. She's been kept fresh and looks perfectly placed from a good gate in what looks a very good race. Stablemate PLUS FOURS was heavily backed first-up in SA when he was narrowly beaten by Roxy Blue. RIVER RIBBLE draws a nice barrier and has been in the money at 6 of 8 Victorian runs. He got back and was strong late as a $2.50 fav at Bendigo last time and should be in the mix here. WAKANJEJA was well fancied first-up against the older horses when she got back and ran on OK. She's a more attractive price, halved her opening quote and looks a genuine improver here. Stablemate SECOND TO NUN resumes and is a filly worth following. HALLSTATT ran well in two Melbourne outings before a spell. There has been money for PORT ALBERT even from the outside barrier. Fellow Victorian TROPICCONI draws even wider but comes off a Moonee Valley win and looks a nice filly. TANTO has been favourite at her past four winning at Sandown last time out. PRESS DOWN didn't have a lot go right last time when beaten 3.5 lengths behind Validated. SGHIRRIPA is a speedy horse who will make his presence felt. He Jolly pair of KLABEL and NOBEL MAGNATE both have ability.

SELECTIONS: 10 ZEBELLA, 4 River Ribble, 16 Wakanjeja, 9 Tanto
PLAY: Something each-way ZEBELLA.
