Race 3 — Sportsbet Fast Form Mdn Plate 1300m · jumps Wed 14 Oct, 3:40 pm AEDT

Race preview

Balaklava hosts an overcast afternoon of racing for the Sportsbet Fast Form Mdn Plate over 1300m on a good4 surface, with the 3yo+ maiden field ready to jump at 3:40 pm AEDT. Looking at the early win market order, punters have homed in on Pocket Pyro to lead the charge, with Dashing Red Star, Upsanddowns, and Woottonbelieveit next in line for the stable glory. It is shaping up as a fascinating tactical affair across the 1300m trip as these maidens look to break through.

Punters assessing the form line will note that Pocket Pyro opens as the elect after a encouraging debut third over 1050m right here at Balaklava on September 30, where the extra ground looks ideal second-up from barrier two under Rochelle Milnes for trainer Jake Stephens. Meanwhile, Dashing Red Star brings an encouraging debut third over 1100m at Gawler on September 23, and trainer Aaron Bain and Ned Taylor's charge gets the services of Jackson Murphy from barrier ten with the expectation that a rise in distance will suit. Upsanddowns also appeals from barrier nine for Stephen Theodore and Jessica Booth, having put in a close-up, sound performance when finishing fourth in a 3yo+ maiden plate at Gawler last time out.

Looking further down the speed maps and market order, early speed is expected to be dictated up front by runners like Mouse In The House and Upsanddowns in the leader group, while Dashing Red Star, Fiorona, and Habondia drift forward into the onpace division. Woottonbelieveit, trained by Luke O'Connor and ridden by Taylor Johnstone from barrier one, is another racing for experience after offering little on debut at Gawler, but could find improvement rising in distance. It all sets up an intriguing yarn for punters looking to unravel a tricky maiden puzzle on the South Australian track.

AAP

Encouraging debut performance at Gawler 23 Sep. Wiser for experience and the longer trip may help. Not out of it.

ILB

Ran home into 3rd last start at Gawler and was on debut last time. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Watch the betting.

Ran encouragingly on his debut when third in Gawler maiden over 5½f at 14-1 last month; a big player if reproducing initial effort.

RSIS

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by just short of 2 1/2L last start at Gawler and having second career run. Not at all out of this race.

AAP

Dropped out to last and never sighted at Strathalbyn. Hard to make a case.

ILB

Started $101.00 and didn't threaten when 8th last start at Strathalbyn. Likely to get back in the field. Looks highly doubtful.

Held when eighth beaten 14l (Strathalbyn) two weeks ago; still searching for his first win after 16 attempts; a few rivals look in good form so can be taken on.

RSIS

At 100/1 faded to finish 8th last start at Strathalbyn. Prefers to settle towards the rear.

Failed to flatter at Morphettville Parks first run back. Rough exotics hope.

ILB

Started $101.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 9th last time at Morphettville. Still in maiden grade after 13 starts. Gets back and needs luck. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Ninth of ten beaten 8l when close behind Habondia (Morphettville) three weeks ago; 14th attempt to lose maiden tag; this is competitive and others appeal more.

RSIS

At 100/1 moderate showing when 9th last run at Morphettville. Trying to win after 13 runs. Does take a while to get into stride.

Backing up quickly. On pace but soon under pressure and he knocked up badly at Mt Gambier. Others with greater appeal.

ILB

Backing up quickly for this race. Jumped at $31.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 10th last start at Mount Gambier. Likely to be well placed early. Looks too tough.

Finished tenth of 12 at Mt Gambier over 6f (maiden) a week ago; 16th attempt to lose maiden tag; makes limited appeal given the strong opposition here.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Started 30/1 and was well beaten when 10th last run at Mount Gambier. Should be going forward early. A 15 start maiden.

Returns for second campaign (36-weeks). Ex Dr F Livesey in SA. Trial was encouraging. Place preferred option fresh in this line-up.

ILB

Resuming after a break of 36 weeks. Was $101.00 and folded up in the straight when 7th last time at Morphettville. Racing for a new trainer. Will need to elevate.

Yet to get off the mark in three attempts (fourth her best finish); finished seventh, beaten a fair way over 7f at Morphettville (maiden) in January; now running for a new trainer; returns from a layoff; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Fresh from a break of 36 weeks. Odds of 100/1 and weakened to finish 7th last time at Morphettville. Coming to a new trainer. Likely to be well placed early.

A vastly improved performance when the Sir Prancealot 5year-old ran into the minors at Port Lincoln. Ran a better race last start and will be further improved.

ILB

Competed in a tight contest last run at Port Lincoln. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will need everything to go right.

Appears to be going forwards; beaten only narrowly over 6f at Port Lincoln (maiden) ten days ago; warrants respect.

RSIS

Close to claiming the win last start at Port Lincoln. Will be pushing for a forward position early.

Failed to threaten at Swan Hill after a betting drift. Others with more appeal.

ILB

Jumped at $41.00 and lost ground in the run home when 9th last time at Swan Hill. Trying to win after 23 starts. Polly Brewster takes a large claim. Looking elsewhere.

Finished ninth, beaten 7l, over 6f at Swan Hill (maiden) three weeks ago; improved form the last twice but form has an uneven look to it; a few rivals look in good form so others more likely.

RSIS

Was 40/1 and struggled with the pace when 9th last run at Swan Hill. Still a maiden after 23 runs. Polly Brewster takes a large claim.

Early form encouraging. Close up in sound performance 3yo+ Mdn Plate at Gawler last outing when in the market. Fancy the extra trip will suit. Among the dangers.

ILB

Odds of $3.50 and faded late when 4th last time at Gawler. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Well respected contender.

Winless in three starts but has shown promise with third his top showing; gave it a good shot when a close fourth over 5½f at Gawler (maiden) last Monday.

RSIS

At 5/2 peaked on the run when 4th last run at Gawler. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Has the ratings to win this.

Kept on for the minor spoils in skinny line-up at Jamestown. Awkwardly drawn. Only for exotics.

ILB

Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Jamestown. Yet to break through after 9 runs. Slim chance.

Has kicked on in her last couple of races but defeats piling up (0-9); fair effort (beaten 1½l) at Jamestown 11 days ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Did well when 3rd last start at Jamestown. Still in maiden grade after 9 runs.

Offered little to catch the eye on debut at Gawler 23 Sep. Experience gained. Rise in distance should help. Hope for exotics only.

ILB

Started at $8.50 and ordinary performance when 8th last time at Gawler but having second career run. Has drawn the rails. Will need to find a new peak.

Finished just behind Dashing Red Star last month when eighth at Gawler; hard to see him getting off the mark second time up.

RSIS

At 15/2 disappointing run when 8th last start at Gawler but was on debut last time. Has a nice advantage with a good draw.

Debut effort fair in spread-out finish at Strathalbyn following market easing 27 Sep. Benefits from the experience. More a minor money chance here.

ILB

Crept into 4th last run at Strathalbyn and having second race start.

Beaten 7l on her debut in blinkers at Strathalbyn, finished ahead of Mouse In The House at 25-1 17 days ago; if the penny drops, could be in the mix.

RSIS

Passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run at Strathalbyn and having second race start.

AAP

Wasn't all that far from the action on debut this course when supported 30 Sep. Better for it. Extra ground may help. Commands attention here.

ILB

Picked up late ground when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last run here and was on debut last time. Jockey Rochelle Milnes and trainer Jake Stephens are an imposing duo. Great chance.

Ran well to finish third on her debut (here, 5f) at 15-8 last month; one to take seriously if reproducing initial effort.

RSIS

Ran home into 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at the track and having second career run. Jockey Rochelle Milnes and trainer Jake Stephens are a formidable team. Will attract plenty of interest.

Odds correct as at Wed 14 Oct, 3:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
