RACE 1 - 10:57AM Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap (900 METRES)

First Maid was runner-up behind Aviatress here on debut back in September and resumed with a Balaklava win against the pattern when she came from the back to score. She has upside and will be thereabouts again. Stablemate EVERGLADE is a former Victorian first-up for the Clarken/O'Shea stable and was placed at two of four runs before coming to SA. The blinkers come off and she must be respected. NOISE BY NATURE resumes here and was a good Morphettville winner on debut and then well beaten behind Kalasec before a break. He was OK in a recent Oakbank trial and should be in the finish. PUTANOTHERCOININ has been the horse to firm since markets went up. He was a Morphettville winner in December and spelled after running 3rd behind Vexatious Dancer there. He draws out but has upside.

SELECTIONS: 4 FIRST MAID, 1 Noise By Nature, 2 Putanothercoinin, 3 Everglade

FAVOURITE CHILD was beaten 4.4 lengths behind Hot Off on the Parks before going to the outer track when a 2.2 length winner over Tappa Capall last time.

JACK THE LAD won the Cup here last year and he comes out of the G3 Cummings won by En Francais. He has a good record here and looks over the odds. PEACEMAKER has been racing well but is stepping right up in class here. WORSFOLD is a horse with talent and back in SA with Ali Brook. CONVICT SAM is a Victorian with ability but resuming off a long break.

RACE 4 - 12:42PM Thomas Farms Handicap (2000 METRES)

Smokin' Princess was impressive here last time when she was well ridden and won nicely beating Hayai Mesu by 1.9 lengths over the 1800m. The jump to 2000m suits, she looks to be trending upwards and has been $3.50 into $2.40 since markets went up. EXALTED FIRE was good leading throughout to beat The Nephew on the Parks last time out. HEART OF PUISSANCE brings some OK Victorian form here coming off a 2nd behind Picaroon in the Casterton Cup. The winner has done so again since, his best is right up to this and looks over the odds.

His Victoria form is OK, placed at Geelong two runs back and can improve here at nice odds. THE SEVEN SEAS looks an improver second-up in SA for the Clarken/O'Shea stable after she was beaten 5.1 lengths behind Starlite Valley at Morphettville last time. Stablemate HIT THE SLOPES resumes here and won a Balaklava maiden last time in work and has shown ability.

TALKIN' ITALIAN won consecutive Strathalbyn races before running 2nd behind Sportsbeat at Morphettville last time which is good form for this.

RACE 6 - 1:52PM Sportsbet Bet With Mates Handicap (1200 METRES)

Hajra is a promising filly who was impressive here in maiden class two starts back and then followed up with a win over KATIM'S CLUB at Morphettville. She has a lot of upside and should take some beating again. Stablemate KOMACHI was a Gawler winner three starts back and comes off an OK effort when 2.4 lengths behind Geminga here. He draws the inside. The Clarken/O'Shea stable also have RESERVOIR DOG who was placed at his last three in Victoria but his two SA runs have been fair.
THE GREAT BABY has been racing consistently and comes off a good run when 2nd behind Pure Paradise at Morphettville. He draws well and gets the claim. WALLY WEST continues to race well and was again working home well when 2.6 lengths 3rd behind Sportsbet at Morphettville but is finding it hard to win. BIT OF A REBEL has a handy record and is a winner fresh. He hasn't raced since he was a $5 favourite when beaten 4.5 lengths behind Punchin at Morphettville in November.

Surprise Coming was narrowly beaten by Griff in the Exford Plate at Flemington back in September before running 3rd behind Sentimental Flame back at Morphettville. He was good here first-up from a spell when beaten 0.7 lengths behind Let's Get Down and should take plenty out of that run. KINETIC JEWEL has won two of her six starts and was beaten 0.4 lengths first-up from a spell behind Storyteller on the Parks. She draws out but should be in the mix. WALK LIKE AN ANGEL is a handy filly who hasn't had a lot of luck and was nattily beaten by Lets Get Down last time here.

GREAT MAXIMUS was a good winner at Oakbank over Easter beating Oakland Raider and then stepped up in class and was beaten 2.6 lengths behind Sir Sway in the Redelva before he was beaten 6 lengths behind Skybird in the Tobin Bronze. The blinkers come off from a middle gate and he should take beating. Stablemate KALASEC hasn't raced since he was 2.3 lengths 3rd behind Overstrike in the MM 3&4yo race here back in March. He has been placed at two of three first-up runs and looks well placed. The third of the Jolly runners STAR SIRIUS was a $2.80 favourite when she defied the pattern and come from the back to in at Balaklava last time.

Klabel has two wins from three starts here and comes off a good first-up run when he got back and made solid ground late to be beaten 1.1 lengths behind Keep Reading on the Parks. He draws a nice gate and should take some beating. HOME RULE was good when 2nd behind Extreme Flight at Warrnambool when a $3.40 favourite and he should give a race like this a shake.

RACE 10 - 4:20PM Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap (1800 METRES)

Dolcemente was impressive coming from a long way back to beat Gold Spy in maiden class last time. She's a filly who looks to have plenty of scope and the jump from 1400m to 1800m should suit her racing pattern. LONGER ROUTE returned to winning form back in class at Balaklava last time when he was on speed and soft winner, but may have flattered by the track pattern. He can be on speed here from a good gate and should run well. TIPPA has been knocking on the door and he led when 3rd behind Bellini Miss at Morphettville last time. ICHIBANSAN showed good improvement last time out when the blinkers went back on beaten 1.7 lengths in the Bellini Miss. He is a winner here previously Stablemate HAYAI MESU comes off a solid effort here when 2nd behind Smokin' Princess which is good form for this race.
