RACE 1 - 1:10PM Norma & Bushman’s Tanks Maiden Plate (1000 METRES)
BEYOND MYSTI debuts for Richard and Chantelle Jolly and looked impressive winning a recent Balaklava trial. She draws out and looks hard to beat. COSMIC INTERLUDE is on debut for Sarah Rutten and was 4th in that trial. SASSY LITTLE MISS debuts for Jon O’Connor, was 2nd in a Strathalbyn trial in May and won a recent Morphettville jump-out in good style when she showed very good speed. ACT NATURAL has been placed in all eight runs and was against good late when beaten 0.85 lengths in 3rd behind Royal Scripture at Morphettville last start. He draws a good gate and is going to win a maiden at some point but is proving costly for punters. BEL RAGAZZO has been placed in two runs and was on speed beaten 2.6 lengths in 3rd behind Skadoosh on the Parks last time out, he gets the inside gate here. BEL HOTESSE was runner-up at Naracoorte before running 4th beaten 4.01 lengths in the Skadoosh race and can run well.
