Yet again these small fields are invading Adelaide on a Saturday making any value a difficulty.
With the best horse in Race 3 scratched, it has made the weights of this handicap look a bit strange.
So we'll go for a runner coming off different form lines in Starvirgo as the best on the day.
He made some improvements from the first to second Moonee Valley runs but those scampers can be tricky.
The Anthony Freedman yard love to pick off these Saturday metro races in Adelaide and the Zoustar gelding is well placed to do it on the limit.
Most of the rivals are either first up or had long campaigns and he brings fresh legs. We should get better odds on the day too.
There has to be a big watch on the betting on a newcomer to the Will Clarken stable in Race 5.
He has a habit of winning with them straight into the yard and Press The Petal is a former Perth horse who ran some decent races earlier in the year.
Need these numbers to hold up here for an each way play as she will get back but has at least had two trials for fitness.
She isn't used to carrying this sort of weight so could be a smokey late.
SAY FROM SA
