The addition of blinkers first time should sharpen him up, and from barrier 3 he should be able to utilize his early speed. With natural improvement second-up and the strongest form credentials, he looks the one to beat.

Sportsbet Green Tick Plate
First-starter with significant gear changes (barrier blanket, ear muffs pre-race, lugging bit, tongue tie) suggesting connections are leaving nothing to chance. Represents the main danger.
Filly who showed promise on debut when finishing 3rd at Murray Bridge. The Peter Stokes stable knows how to prepare a juvenile, and with Kayla Crowther aboard from a good draw, she can run into the placings again.
The engagement of Jacob Opperman is a positive, and being from the same stable as Rebel Tuesday provides a useful form reference. Expected to show good speed and contest the lead with Blandford Baron.

Sportsbet Get On Extra (Bm84)
The inside draw is perfect and she's dropping in class from her last start.
Test The Law brings solid consistent form into this race with three consecutive 5th placings in stronger company. The significant class drop is a major positive, though the 60.5kg top weight is a concern. Versatile performer who handles all track conditions.
Smiling Assassin brings mixed form but has excellent credentials at this track and distance (2-1-2 from 14 starts). The significant class rise is a concern, as is the poor last start performance, but the weight relief and proven staying ability make him a legitimate place chance.

Hahn Mdn Plate
Act Natural brings the strongest form to this race with 5 seconds and 2 thirds from 7 starts. While yet to break through for a win, he's consistently finishing close and appears ready to claim a maiden victory.
Coming back from a spell but performed well when second-up last preparation, finishing second in Class 1 company. The drop back to maiden grade is significant, and the booking of Jason Holder plus the addition of a tongue tie suggests connections are expecting a forward showing.
Oak Park Maddison brings strong class credentials having competed in Listed and Open company in her last preparation. First-up from a spell but has performed well fresh previously, and the light weight of 51kg is a significant advantage in this field.

Sportsbet Fast Form (Bm82)
Zebella brings strong second-up credentials (1-3-1 from 6 starts) and excellent track form (2-2-1 from 7 starts). The 52.5kg weight is a significant advantage, and barrier 3 gives her tactical options in a race with likely fast tempo. Her consistent form and proven ability at this distance make her the standout selection.
Karavas drops significantly in class after competing in Group 3 company. Her track record at Morphettville (1-2-0 from 4 starts) and distance record (1-2-0 from 6 starts) are strong positives. While her last two runs were unplaced, the class relief should see her return to form. Barrier 4 gives her options to settle forward in a race with likely fast tempo. Represents solid each-way value.
Sir Now brings the best win strike rate in the field (47%) and strong Morphettville form (1-1-1 from 5 starts). The 62.5kg is a significant impost, but his class and consistency (67% place rate) suggest he can still be competitive. Likely to push forward from barrier 2.
The class drop from his last start and the quick 10-day backup are positives. Barrier 1 gives him options in a race with likely fast tempo.

Croser Hcp (C1)
While her win strike rate is low, she's a reliable place getter who should be right in the finish again. Barrier 5 gives her options to settle midfield and use her strong finishing burst.
Unbeaten gelding who won impressively on debut at Kyneton. Returns from a spell with a perfect first-up record and should get a good run on speed from barrier 6. The main concerns are the significant class rise from maiden grade and the top weight of 60.5kg.
Gets in with just 54.5kg and has shown excellent finishing ability in both runs.
Drops in class from last start and draws perfectly in barrier 3 to take up a forward position. While his recent form has been inconsistent, he's shown ability at this level before and the return to Morphettville where he's had success could spark improvement. The visors going back on is a positive gear change that could sharpen him up.

Alan Sheppard Constructions Hcp (64)
Her racing pattern suggests she'll handle the step up in class, and she's proven at similar distances with a 1-1-0 record from three attempts. Todd Pannell taking the ride is a significant positive, and she appears perfectly placed to continue her upward trajectory.
Consistent performer who brings solid recent form into this race with consecutive second placings. Has excellent career statistics with 3 wins and 10 placings from 23 starts. While carrying top weight is a challenge, he's proven at this track and should be right in the finish again.
Progressive 5YO gelding who won impressively last start at this track. The inside barrier draw is a plus given the track bias, and Campbell Rawiller retains the ride. While this represents a class rise, his upward trajectory suggests he can be competitive.
Mare in career-best form with two wins from her last three starts and a placing last time out just 3 days ago. While the quick backup is a query, she's proven over similar distances with 2 seconds and 2 thirds from 6 attempts. Well-weighted with just 54.5kg and drawn to get a good run from barrier 7.

Metal-Link Legends (Bm70)
The mare is dropping significantly in class after competing in Group races during autumn, including a Group 3 placing. While unproven at 1800m, her racing pattern suggests the distance will suit, and she gets in well at the weights with 54kg.
Flaming Navy is a progressive gelding who won impressively last start over 1600m. While stepping up to 1800m for the first time, his racing pattern suggests the extra distance should suit. Gets a good draw in barrier 5 which should allow him to settle midfield and finish strongly. His upward trajectory makes him a genuine winning chance.
Party Crasher brings a strong win record to this race and has a perfect second-up record. While disappointing when resuming, he should improve significantly here. The barrier draw is favorable, and he has proven ability at Morphettville. The main query is the 1800m distance, which he's tackling for the first time, but his racing style suggests it should suit.
He produced a strong 3rd last start over this track and distance, and has a perfect 3 from 3 placing record at Morphettville over 1800m. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style.

Peter Elberg Funerals Hcp (64)
Lightly-raced and progressive gelding who has shown considerable talent in his brief career. His last start second at Ballarat over this distance indicates he's ready for this assignment. The Todd Pannell booking is significant, and from barrier 4 he should get an ideal midfield position in a race with good tempo. His upside and scope for improvement make him the standout.
Consistent gelding who has found form at the right time with back-to-back seconds at Morphettville. Has a perfect record at this track with two placings from two starts and is proven at the distance. Drawn to get a good run from barrier 5 and should be finishing strongly.
Has a versatile racing pattern and should get a good run despite the wide draw. Represents solid each-way value.
Progressive mare who is stepping up to the mile for the first time but has been finishing her races off strongly. Her last start win was impressive, and she gets in with just 54kg here. While this is a significant class rise, she's on an upward trajectory and has the benefit of Brooke King's continued association.

Adelaide Galvanising Industries (Bm72)
Progressive 4YO gelding who has shown excellent form progression, winning last start at Murray Bridge in good style. Well weighted with 56.5kg and gets the services of top jockey Todd Pannell. The barrier is slightly awkward but his tactical speed should overcome this.
Consistent 6YO mare dropping slightly in class after a good third in BM84 company last start. The wide barrier is a concern, but she has the tactical speed to overcome it. Gets the services of Taylor Johnstone and should be right in the finish.
Lightly raced 5YO gelding with an impressive win strike rate of 43%. Last start winner at Mildura in BM62 grade, now stepping up significantly in class. Well drawn in barrier 4 and gets the services of Steven Vella who knows the horse well. The class rise is a concern, but his consistent form pattern and strong win record suggest he can be competitive.
Progressive 4YO gelding who has shown significant improvement in recent starts. Well weighted with 53.5kg and drawn well in barrier 6.
