Tomorrow, Flat6f
Verdict

DASHING RED STAR (1) made a sound debut at Gawler, finishing third after being slow to begin, and that exposed run gives him a strong platform second-up. The move to 1300m is new, but he was solid enough at 1100m and has the winning rider back. Among the leading chances. UPSANDDOWNS (8) has had more chances but brings the best recent form, with his Gawler fourth better than it reads after interference and being held up late. Ready to find winning form. POCKET PYRO (12) was well fancied on debut at this track, picked up strongly for third and draws to get every chance, though she is also untried at the trip. Worth consideration here. REGAL TIME (7) is a seasoned maiden, but her Mildura third two back and genuine excuses at Swan Hill keep her in the each-way mix.

    Verdict
    Ran well on debut at this track, finishing third over 1050m behind Fast Food after travelling just off the lead and picking up strongly late. She was near the top of betting there, so the market expected a forward showing, and Rochelle Milnes stays aboard. Better for the racing experience and in the mix.

    Verdict
    Had excuses when fourth at Gawler last start, beaten a length after racing keenly, striking interference near the 200m and being held up late. He had earlier been within two and a half lengths in a Mdn at Murray Bdge at generous odds, so the recent form has substance. Claim helps and he is a major chance.

    Verdict
    Placed on debut at Gawler over 1100m, finishing third behind Kayla Kruzen after being slow to begin and still holding his ground to be beaten two and a half lengths. He now steps to 1300m for the first time, which is the query, but that opening run had merit for a horse sent out an outside chance in the betting. Open to sharp second-up improvement and looks the one to beat.

    Verdict
    Was safely held on debut at Gawler, settling rearward and making no impression when second last, beaten just under seven lengths behind Kayla Kruzen. He also finished behind Dashing Red Star there, so he has a clear form gap to bridge. Barrier helps, but more is required second-up.

    Verdict
    Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last preparation with a seventh in Saturday company at Morphettville Parks, beaten just over eight lengths when her final effort was only moderate. Her earlier fourth at Oakbank was sound enough without threatening, and she resumes still seeking a first placing. Still unplaced from three starts and must lift.

    Verdict
    Went within a neck of winning at Port Lincoln last start, travelling well behind the speed before being caught late as favourite. That was a clear step in the right direction after a plain sixth at Morphettville Parks, and she is now race fit fourth-up. Harder here and the quick back-up are the reservations.

    Verdict
    Returns on a quick back-up after finishing tenth at Mt Gambier, beaten just over eight lengths, when he sat close enough but gave little in the run home. He had been safely held at Strathalbyn before that and now meets a stronger meeting than last start. Difficult to recommend.

    Verdict
    Placed at Jamestown last start, finishing third in a small field after being near the top of betting, but she now rises from picnic company to a harder meeting. The run prior at this track was only fair, as she was in position to threaten before finding little late. Place claims.

    Verdict
    Had genuine excuses at Swan Hill last start, beginning slowly, being hampered shortly after the start and then bumped near the 400m before finishing ninth in a Mdn. Her previous Mildura third over 1408m reads better, as she settled handy and was only beaten two and a half lengths. Long-time maiden, but a real place player.

    Verdict
    Second-up after a plain return in Saturday company at Morphettville Parks, where he was slow to begin and finished second last, beaten just over eight lengths by Cosmic Shower. He now finds an easier meeting, and the rider switch back is some help, but his record at around 1300m is only one placing from eight tries. Not without place claims.

    Verdict
    Has been well held in both recent runs, most recently second last at Strathalbyn when beaten over 14 lengths after making no impression late. The start prior at Naracoorte on heavy ground was also plain, and he has managed just one placing from 16 starts overall. Race fit, but current form leaves him hard to recommend.

    Verdict
    Made some late ground for fourth on debut at Strathalbyn, but was still beaten seven lengths by Make Me A Match after starting at long odds. The stewards noted she jumped awkwardly, so there is some scope to be cleaner second-up, and her trial background gives her a little foundation. Further improvement is anticipated.
