Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - SECTORS (9) was no match for an impressive debutante here last start but did still close off nicely to grab a minor cheque. Is sure to have come on with that run under her belt and should relish the added trip. Watch for her launching late again. ARAMOSO (1) continues to knock on the door after another honest effort last start at Murray Bridge. This looks a winnable race and he looms as a genuine threat to finally break through. ALL TOO TRUE (4) went agonisingly close to shedding the maiden tag at Mt Gambier and while this is a steeper challenge, she deserves consideration. STRAZZ (10) caught the eye fresh with a late-charging third at Mt Gambier. Faces stronger opposition but isn't without hope if she's close enough when turning for home. MYSTIC WONDER (7) was a big improver second-up. Carries upside and gets in well with the claim. Have to include.

RACE 2 - GRAND HOST (6) has returned in top order, going one better second-up when rattling home late to get the verdict. Open to further improvement third-up, no reason he can't bring up the hat-trick. BEEN OUR ANGEL (4) was reeled in late by Grand Host last start but now meets him 2kgs better. Ticking along nicely and is a great chance to reverse the result. MARTIAL MUSIC (1) resumes and is a noted fresh performer. Gets help at the weights with a smart claimer in TJ engaged. The stable change adds intrigue. Can return with a bang over a favoured journey. HYPERNOVA (9) was solid late when resuming and will only improve with that run under the belt. Among the chances in an open affair. SUZIDO (3) has been freshened and droops sharply in grade. Don't overlook.

RACE 3 - THERE GOES MY HERO (4) finds it tough to land the winning blow but is close. Was brave again last start, sticking on well after racing handy. Gets a nice pull at the weights over the winner and strikes another genuine chance to break through. LAKE'S FOLLY (1) had their measure last start at Murray Bridge. Rises in the weights but has recaptured his best form and has to be taken seriously. AMMO AMOR (9) hasn't quite hit his straps this prep but suspect he will relish the rise in trip. Capable of improvement and should be kept safe. DIXIE WHISTLER (2) is never far away in these staying contests. HIGH SOCIETY GIRL (6) has been mixing her form but is a capable type. Don't disregard.

RACE 4 - SYNCHRO (1) is flying this prep and was dominant last time out, scoring comfortably over this course and distance. Hard to knock the form and is sure to prove tough to reel in again. EVEN SHARPER (4) doesn't win out of turn but continues to race well, just missing last start here over this journey. Gets another chance to convert with a similar run. BIG BRUTE (2) hit the line with intent at Morphettville. Has proven versatile with his speed, now getting the chance to take much closer order. Don't take lightly. SPIRIT OF FLIGHT (10) returned to form last start when narrowly missing the winner. Peak fitness now. Keeping safe. DUO PERNA (5) strips fitter third-up and is capable of featuring.

RACE 5 - GREAT MAXIMUS (3) was a stylish winner in a tougher grade two weeks ago. Is aided under the big weight with talented apprentice Taylor Johnstone claims 2kgs. He's a progressive sprinter for the smart R & C Jolly stable and looks destined for black type soon. COLMAR (4) impressed fresh when scoring comfortably here. Strips fitter and is sure to give another bold sight. STARLITE VALLEY (7) has chased gamely into the frame in her two runs this campaign. Backs up quickly and is drawn to get all the favours. Have to include. VAIL MOUNTAIN (5) worked forward and stuck on gamely at Sandown-Hillside. Has a tricky draw to overcome but doesn't need to improve much to threaten. LET'S GET DOWN (2) couldn't go with Great Maximus last start but never stopped trying. Has enough pace to offset the draw but will find it tough under the big weight. Must for exotics.

RACE 6 - TAHNEE TREASURE (4) is yet to strike through this campaign but has built nicely. Peaking now and is a track specialist. Ready. ANNIHILATE (7) couldn't repeat the dose last start but was far from disgraced. Has the ability to bounce back stepping back out to a winning trip. Form around him stacks right up and he has to be included in the main chances. THE MANSMAN (10) hasn't been far off in two runs back from a spell and should appreciate the extra ground now. Sure to be very competitive. THE GOLDEN FIST (6) came from the clouds to arrive in the nick of time at headquarters. Backs up quickly and gets a nice weight drop for the rise in class. In form and warrants serious consideration. UNDER THE CONE (8) drops back to a trip he relishes. Will need some luck from the draw but deserves respect.

RACE 7 - ROMANI ITE DOMUM (2) resumes for the Hayes team off some slick jump-outs and looks ready to go. Has good early toe and should give them something to catch. LITTLEBOURKESTREET (10) also returns and makes her stable debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership, who do a terrific job with tried horses. Her trial in readiness suggests she's ready to launch, and the booking of Holder adds further confidence. ENUFF SEDUCTION (4) drops sharply in class after contesting the G2 Tobin Bronze. Will be charging home late and looks a threat with clear running. DOBBINAIR (1) has been doing his best work late in his two runs back. Drops back in trip off freshen and is another to watch for late in the piece. HEAVEN ROCKS (5) made light work of his maiden last start at Balaklava when resuming. Faces tougher opposition but has upside. Include.

RACE 8 - HOOKED ON WEALTH (13) proved hard to catch last campaign but generally races his best early in the prep. Has been readied with a sharp trial win and is drawn to get all the favours for gun hoop Jake Toeroek. Bold showing anticipated. AZTEC DANCER (11) also returns and while she doesn't win out of turn, the form around her last campaign stacks right up for this. She will relish any genuine tempo up front. Watch for her launching late. MAGIC FIELD (2) was sound when resuming, sitting handy before fading late at headquarters. Strips fitter and is drawn to advantage again. Can improve sharply. RUSSIAN BOBSHARK (3) was only sound when resuming but is another that can big a big improver with that run under his belt. WARM BREEZE (9) returned a dominant winner at Murray Bridge to shed his maiden tag. Steps up in grade but showed good promise. Have to respect.

RACE 9 - SACHEM (5) was below his best last time at Murray Bridge but is capable of much better and drops into a more suitable race here. Expecting a sharp bounce-back. FALANGHINA (10) knuckled down strongly to get the verdict here last start. Identical set-up three weeks on. Can make it two on the trot. TOSEN WATER (6) impressed last time with a dominant win here over a shorter journey. Rise in trip poses no concerns. She looms as a major threat again. VOLTAGE POINT (2) didn't have the best of luck last start and wasn't far off. Consistent and should be in the finish. PROVEN CORRECT (4) ran well fresh, has more to offer second-up and draws nicely. In the mix.
