1. Brother's Shadow | Back after 26 week break and fitter for Murray Bdge trial. Will come to hand quickly. Outside hope. |
2. Kolokar | Resumes after spell of 13 weeks and won at Gawler in first outing. Jake Toeroek has had success aboard previously. Expected to be a contender. |
3. No Way Ever | 3/4 len win of 7 (7) $8.50 57.0 Lempicka, Direct 1000m Sandown-Hillside 3yo (Bm64) Good(4) Mar 30. 2-1/2 len 4th of 13 (5) $9.00 52.5 Najmaty 1100m Caulfield 3yo F Hcp Good(3) April 16. |
4. Queman | Won or placed in three to start career. Sneaky chance. |
5. Abseiler | Unplaced in all four runs this prep and faded to finish six lengths off the winner last start at Albury when fresh. Won't be far away in the run. Prefer to watch go around. |
6. Justakidd | Let-up for eight weeks. Will come to hand quickly and ran second when last first-up at Murray Bdge. Has not won in five outings to Morphettville before. Not keen. |
7. Sixfootone | Led throughout for a dominant win at only start at Strathalbyn but first run at metropolitan level. Look to others. |
8. Speed Lover | Just missed when heavily backed last start at Mildura on a soft track when fresh and yet to miss the placegetters. Barend Vorster has a strike rate of 25% for this trainer. Hard to hold out. |
9. Star Espresso | Resumes after a 17 week spell and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Should race on the speed. Cannot entertain. |
10. Emerald Court | Resumes after spell of 19 weeks and won at Morphettville Parks in first outing. Has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Rough claims. |
11. Gloved | Last start winner to break maiden at Murray Bdge when first up. Won't be far away in the run and likes a softer track. Should fight out the finish. |
12. Miss Daniel | Back after 32 week break and winner when on debut at Balaklava. Has disappointed in all three starts as a favourite. Knockout hope. |
13. One More Grandy | Overraced early, middle stages len win of 4 (4) $7.00 55.0 Courageous Hearts, Rouge Renarde 1100m Oakbank 2yo+ Mdn Soft(5) April 18. |
