1. I'm a Legend | On a seven day back-up and blinkers come off. Won once this prep at Gawler three runs back. Among the main chances. |
2. Fox Gem | Chased strongly to win last start at Balaklava and has gone well on a softer track. Won all previous races as a favourite. One of the main hopes. |
3. Classy Kenny | Can't knock the form with two wins from four attempts this campaign and goes well on a softer track. Won't be far away in the run. Needs the breaks. |
4. Load And Go | 5 len 8th of 12 (5) $6.50 54.0 La Richesse 1250m Morphettville Parks (Bm72) Soft(5) May 29 (2021). Pre race incident. Passed fit at barrier. Hung out in straight 4-3/4 len 9th of 13 (2) $15.00 57.0 Fighting Mclaren 1000m Morphettville Parks (Bm68) Soft(6) June 11. |
5. The Raven | 7-3/4 len 8th of 11 (10) $101.00 58.5 Mr Metrics 1200m Murray Bridge Gh (Bm62) Good(4) Mar 27. Difficult to load. Warning - barrier manners. Laid in in straight 3/4 len win of 8 (8) $5.00 57.5 Zakybree, Spencer Gulf 1200m Port Augusta (Bm56) Good(3) July 24. |
6. Vanderland | Resumes after a 28 week spell and placed in Cranbourne-Trn trial. Generally strong first-up placing at Kyneton last attempt. Needs the breaks. |
7. Crypto Currency | First-up after 18 week break and winner of two when first-up including ran third at Naracoorte last go. Down in distance. Right in this. |
8. Grandma Gail | First-up after 13 week break and generally strong first-up placing at Morphettville last attempt. Down in distance. One for wider exotics. |
9. Rose Tycoon | Hasn't run a bad race and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Barend Vorster has a strike rate of 25% for this trainer. Big chance. |
10. Desired | Wide throughout. Hung in in straight 5-1/2 len last of 9 (8) $8.50 59.0 Bob's Relish 1000m Warracknabeal (Bm58) Soft(7) July 25. Sht hd 2nd of 9 (5) $4.40 59.5 Kosowski 1000m Ballarat Synthetic 3yo+ (Bm58) Synthetic Aug 5. |
11. Barbaline | Faded to finish three lengths off the winner last start at Morphettville Parks. Likely to race on the speed and won once this prep at Gawler two runs back. Capable of getting into the money. |
12. Samesyn | Faded to finish ninth last start at Morphettville Parks. Won't be far away in the run and has not won at Murray Bdge previously. Not here. |
13. Fields Of Athenry | Ran one and a half lengths back from the winner last start at Balaklava. Should run fitter for past attempts. Awkwardly drawn. Looking elsewhere. |
14. Miss Elegance | Back from 19 week spell and returns to shorter trip. Has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw but appears tested. |
15. Smart Charge | Placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Morphettville Parks on a soft track but without a win in three runs at Murray Bdge. Cannot entertain. |
16. Sweet Distraction | Finished two lengths off the winner last start at Murray Bdge on a soft track and no wins in five past runs at the track. Should race on the speed. Seems unlikely. |
17. Parisians | Finished at the rear last start at Balaklava on a soft track when first up and has to take the step up from provincial grade. No wins in three past runs at Murray Bdge. Prefer others. |
