Race preview

Welcome to Gawler for the Kingsford Hotel Hcp (C1) over 1200m on a good4 track under overcast skies, scheduled for 3:36 pm AEDT. Punters looking at the early win market order find Maysoonfly sitting right at the head of affairs, closely followed by Sir Castleton, Super Choice, and Elegant Lilly rounding out the leading vanguard in the betting. It shapes as a fascinating Class 1 contest where the early speed map indicates we will see Super Choice and Sir Castleton pressing forward to lead, while Maysoonfly and Elegant Lilly track right behind them on the pace.

Digging into the form behind those shorter prices reveals a compelling yarn. Maysoonfly, prepared by A J Gluyas and piloted by Jason Holder from barrier 4, brings a rating of 100 into this assignment. Last start over this exact track and distance, Maysoonfly was quietly handled in the back half before being shaken up to finish full of running, which points to a runner highly suited to this setup. Meanwhile, Super Choice jumps from barrier 2 for S P Gower with Caitlin Jones in the saddle, carrying a hefty 60.5kg off the back of solid efforts including a fourth over 1000m at Murray Bridge and another fourth over 1100m here at Gawler. Sir Castleton kicks off a 23-week second campaign here for trainer Paul Carey and jockey Jacob Opperman, bringing a consistent previous prep that featured a placing on debut at Edenhope.

Looking further down the field and into the supporting angles, Oasis catches the eye as a backmarker from barrier 7 with Ashlee Stone steering for W A Bogarts, carrying the tag of a fast finisher after clocking the fastest overall finishing sectionals last start alongside a hot trainer-jockey combination. Elegant Lilly also holds a place in the market from barrier 6 for trainers Shane & Cassie Oxlade, coming in fresh off a 31-day break following a sound effort at this venue where the daughter of form wasn't beaten far off the speed, marking her out as a rough place prospect in what should prove a tight tactical battle.

AAP

Recent form solid. Reasonable effort without seriously threatening at Murray Bridge Gh. Plenty of weight but right in this.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Jumped at $5.00 and came in 4th last run at Murray Bridge. Has the talent to rebound quickly and drawn nicely. Expecting to settle positively. Strong claims.

Normally pretty consistent; far from disgraced (beaten 2l) over 5f at Murray Bridge Gh (handicap) last month; can be on the premises with so many of these having something to prove and lots of promise in his latest performance.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Started 4/1 and finished 4th last run at Murray Bridge. Should bounce back and has a good draw. Should muster plenty of early pace. Highly respected.

AAP

Drove hard late to nail a narrow win this track at second start. Sound latest effort but will need to lift again in this affair.

ILB

Finished hard to win last run around here. Gets back and needs luck. The large claim from Ashlee Stone should help. Form will be tested here.

Narrow 100-1 winner when getting off the mark at the second time of asking 13 days ago in a maiden; should be involved.

RSIS

Charged home to win last run at this track. Gets back and needs luck. Large claim helps.

AAP

Kicks off second campaign (23-weeks). Consistent through last prep. Placed at Edenhope on debut last campaign while trialling quietly in preparation for return. Among the dangers fresh in this company.

ILB

First up from a break of 23 weeks and couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L first up last preparation at Edenhope. Potential to run into a place.

Beaten 6l at Mildura over 7f (handicap) five months ago; track has proven suitable before; returning from a layoff here; can be in the mix as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest and he was a winner three starts ago.

RSIS

Resuming and claimed late when 3rd resuming last preparation at Edenhope. Will be pushing for a forward position early.

Form reads well for this. Quietly handled in back half, shaken up and finished full of running this track over this journey. Highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Jumped at $4.40 and advanced late into 4th last run at this venue. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Winning chance.

Far from disgraced (beaten 1l) last month; been struggling to get her head in front recently so others are preferred.

RSIS

At 10/3 pushed past some when 4th last start here. Exhibiting good form since resuming from a break. Will show up at the business end.

Now 4 weeks between runs. Off the speed, picked up soundly and wasn't beaten far this venue. Rough place prospect only.

ILB

At $21.00 faded away to finish 6th last time around here. Do not dismiss.

Solid effort when beaten 2l to finish sixth over 5½f here (handicap) four weeks ago; not really built on success in a maiden in February at Balaklava.

RSIS

Started 20/1 and was well beaten when 6th last time at this venue.

Steps out for third run new stable/region. Failed to threaten (wide barrier) at Strathalbyn over this journey. Hard fit, one for exotics.

ILB

Started $15.00 and folded up in the straight when 10th last time at Strathalbyn. Entitled to be a big price.

Out of the frame when tenth at Strathalbyn 15 days ago; he meets the required standard ability wise.

RSIS

Started 14/1 and faded to finish 10th last time at Strathalbyn.

AAP

Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers at Balaklava over this distance. Effective this track and distance. Can make her presence felt.

ILB

Started at $14.00 and subpar when 10th last time at Balaklava but drawn the rails. Watch for a sign in the market.

Suited by this C&D; finished tenth of 12 (Balaklava) last month; record demonstrates how she often finds at least one too good so looks an unlikely winner.

RSIS

Started 13/1 and disappointing effort when 10th last run at Balaklava but has the ideal stall.

AAP

Unplaced in all 8 runs to date. Never better than midfield in the 4yo+ Mdn Plate this course. Trained on track but has a tricky draw. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Struggled with the pace when 6th last time around here but gets a reduction in weight.

Not beaten that far in sixth (just under 4l) last month in a maiden; been out of sorts of late and yet to open his account after eight starts; not hard to turn elsewhere.

RSIS

Didn't attack the line when 6th last start at this track but goes down in weight.

Odds correct as at Thu 5 Nov, 3:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
