Placo is the form horse with a last-start win on heavy and a stellar 3-from-5 record at Morphettville Parks. The barrier 1 draw and slow tempo create a favourable scenario for this on-pace type. With a 35% career win rate and proven soft-track form, he represents the best winning chance despite carrying top weight.

The Fotobase Group (Bm78)
The light weight and proven stamina package make him a serious threat. Still a strong each-way chance.
Flash Alice brings strong recent form with back-to-back seconds and a win prior. She handles wet tracks well and carries a light weight.
Eight On The Dot is a proven soft-track performer with 5 wins on the surface and solid recent form, including a second at this track over 2294m.

Maps to be handy from barrier 1 and should thrive in a genuinely run maiden. Hard to beat.
Scooped has the most visually appealing recent form, hitting the line well for second at Morphettville on a soft 7. He gets blinkers on for the first time which may sharpen him up.
Stand Alone has delivered back-to-back runner-up efforts on heavy tracks, showing grit and willingness. She now gets a 2kg claim effectively, drops to 53.5kg, and draws well. The concern is that both placings came on heavy, not soft, but she should handle the surface.
She maps for a perfect run from barrier 2 and represents a stable that is capable.

Sportsbet Get On Extra (Bm66)
Polunin has shown high potential with a debut win and close third in BM62. Trained by the powerful Jolly stable, he maps perfectly from barrier 3 and should be prominent. First-time blinkers may sharpen him. Over 1250m on his preferred soft going, he is the most likely winner despite the class rise.
Breakfast broke through with a commanding win at Balaklava last start, showing a strong turn of foot. She handles soft ground and has a good draw (barrier 5) to settle handy.
Power Dancer broke his maiden in impressive style at this track and distance on a heavy track, showing a strong finish. He is lightly raced and open to improvement. The class rise is a query, but his inside draw and the slow tempo should allow him to be competitive for the placings.
Et Tu Kirkliston broke his maiden in good style at Murray Bridge on a soft track, displaying a strong finishing burst. Drawn the inside, he should get every chance from a handy position in what looks a slow-run race.

Thomas Farms Hcp (64)
Percidian is a first-up specialist who brings the best raw speed in the race.
Mansiere is a consistent wet-tracker who has placed in three of his five soft runs. He maps to settle handy from barrier 2 and gets a jockey in form. While he lacks a win on soft, his heavy-track victory two starts back shows he can handle sting out.
Cork Harbour has a remarkable record at this course and distance, with two wins and a further four placings from ten starts. He ran well here on soft two starts back and drops back in class.

Sportsbet More Places (Bm72)
Cielao boasts a superb record with 5 wins from 10 starts, including two on soft going. She returns from a spell after winning a BM72 over 1400m. Barrier 2 gives her a perfect run in a likely slow tempo. The first-up query is a concern, but her class and wet-track ability make her a serious threat.
Metrical has a solid record at Morphettville Parks over 1250m with a win and two places. He drops back in class after competing in BM80/84 and should find this easier.
Bouncing Beyond is well-placed dropping to BM72 after a competitive 3rd in BM80. He has a win at this track/distance and maps to be handy in a slow-run race.
He thrives on wet tracks and is in peak fitness. The wide barrier is a minor concern but he has the speed to overcome it. Outstanding value in an open BM72.

Sportsbet South Australian Sires'' Produce Stakes
Brevitas is the most reliable form runner, coming off a close second in a Listed race over this track and trip. She has a Group 3 placing and handles soft ground. While the wide draw is a concern, her finishing strength and class make her the horse to beat.
She was a close second first-up and will improve. The lack of soft track form is a minor query, but her class and good barrier suggest she can feature.
He handles soft ground and has a favourable draw. The class rise is a query, but his form suggests he can measure up.
Put To The Sword made an eye-catching debut at Flemington, finishing third in an Open race on a soft track.

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Hcp (68)
Canny Defense arrives off a dominant win at this track and distance on a Soft 6, which is the exact conditions today. The form is progressive and he maps well in a fast-run race. While he rises slightly in grade, the win was professional.
However, his complete lack of success at this track is a concern, and the jockey's recent form is poor.
Crown Mint is a track specialist who consistently runs well at Morphettville Parks. From the inside barrier he will get a soft run and should be in the finish. His recent form is consistent though he lacks a win.
Imposing Suspect is a middle-distance horse who may appreciate the step back to 1550m and the gear change. In a fast-run race he can be running on late.

PFD Food Services Hcp (C2)
Though drawn wide and carrying top weight, he has the speed to cross and the class to sustain. He's the most likely winner.
Took Gardner has done nothing wrong, winning on debut over 1400m Soft then two seconds. Excellent each-way value.
Wind Rush is a consistent galloper who maps perfectly from barrier 3 in a slow-run race. He's been knocking on the door with two fourths and a third at his last three. The inside draw gives him every chance to settle handy and be there at the finish. Place claims.
He hit the line well for third last time out in slow time, and with Kersley's hot streak, he could improve. He's placed at the track/distance before and gets a good barrier.

Winning Edge Presentations (Bm76)
Omaha Dawn is the one to beat. She has an impeccable record at Morphettville Parks over 1000m, winning all three starts, including her last outing in BM82 grade on Soft 6. She drops to BM76 and is in peak form. The main knock is the 58kg top weight, but class and track affinity should prevail.
She was racing consistently before a spell and should be competitive. However, the rise in class and the 140-day layoff are questions. She will need to be at her best fresh, but the inside gate gives her every chance to settle and save ground.
Deepfloat Diva is a consistent performer on soft ground and franked his form last start with a close 3rd in the same BM82 race. He steps back to BM76 but draws poorly. If he can slot in from the wide gate and run on, he can fill a place.
Zanthron is a talented on-pace horse who thrives in wet conditions. He returns from a spell with low weight and an inside draw. His first-up record is a concern, but he has placed first-up before. The value lies in his proven ability to handle the conditions and the likelihood he will be fit enough from the stable. A speculative each-way play.
