Race 1: Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard Handicap 1500m

They went very slow up front here and it turned into a sprint home. Ghodeleine (1^st) settled last but the Jockey made a smart move to get rolling before the turn, showed the best turn of foot and was too strong late. Deplorable (2^nd) sat on the speed and was entitled to give a kick, winner was too strong. Angel’s Wish (3^rd) battled on in the straight. Be careful following this race going forward.

Race 2: Barrister Block Premium Wines 2YO Plate 1050m

Burn Off (1^st) showed good gate speed and was too fast for them, having the race experience was a big positive for her. Winning Partner (2^nd) settled towards the rear and ran on well late. The well backed favourite Mutadaawel (3^rd) had every chance but should take improvement from the run.

Race 3: O’Leary Walker Wines Handicap 1600m

Ustinov’s Fury (1^st) led and was clearly headed in the straight before rallying late to score, tough effort. Miles of Krishan (2^nd) sat behind the speed, had every possible chance. Hussybay (3^rd) sat on the speed and kept responding in the straight to go down narrowly, still going very well.

Race 4: The Lane Vineyard Handicap 2500m

Flying Casino (1^st) settled at the rear, travelled into the race very well and let down with a good sprint to power away, just be careful following him going forward, he is very inconsistent and needs a lot to go his way. Really not much to say about the rest, none of them have any upside.

Race 5: Sidewood Estate Handicap 1050m

Kabini (1^st) settled worse than midfield, made progress on straightening and has let down well late to win well, deserved win. White Kaps (2^nd) led and kept responding, looks to be going well. Wallace Street (3^rd) sat on the speed, had every chance but can take improvement from the run. Fancy Rumble (5^th) missed the start and couldn’t keep up, ran on strongly late, willing to forgive.

Race 6: Top Note Vineyard Handicap 1600m

Picture me Rolling (1^st) had the perfect run behind the leaders, let down well in the straight to put the race to bed, had favours but is going very well. All Bar Two (2^nd) settled towards the rear and ran on well late, going well. Ace Attack (3^rd) kept coming in the straight. Spy Decoder (4^th) battled on well enough but is struggling to win a race.

Race 7: City of Marion Stakes 1200m

Once Steel Frost (1^st) settled so close in the run it was race over, came out wide in the straight and put them away, a class above. Casino Wizard (2^nd) ran on very well late, beat the rest easily, good effort. Sudden Wealth (3^rd) ran on powerfully late, has come back a nice horse this prep.

Race 8: Adelaide Hills Wine Region HCP 1200m

Gogo Grace (1^st) settled midfield, wanted to over race approaching the turn, only looked to be grinding away but knuckled down well late, did a few things wrong but has ability. Quivers (2^nd) loomed in the straight but the winner was too strong in the latter stages, horse is going very well. Alaskan Jade (3^rd) ran on strongly late. Devilishly (4^th) battled on well in the straight but doesn’t know how to win races.
