The most complete profile in an open BM66. Pretty Baby has won two of four on Soft including a Listed win over this Morphettville Parks circuit in June, and she saluted again at Morphettville on Soft 7 twelve days ago. Career record of 5:2-0-2 shows she never runs a bad race, and from gate 4 she should track the lone leader and be top three at the 400m — the dominant winning shape here. The 60.5kg is the genuine query, but her class edge over these outweighs it.

Dominant Clean Sweep (Bm66)
The natural on-pace alternative and the one runner turning the tables on the topweight at the weights. Gate 1 with 53kg in a race with just one genuine leader means she should be handy at the 400m, the strongest positional signal at this circuit. The jockey booking is the obvious knock and the reason she is not the top pick.
The value angle. Having been thrown into Listed grade at Flemington and Morphettville earlier in the prep, this is a genuine drop in company relative to the opposition she has faced.

The most reliable form line in a weak maiden.
Solid each-way rather than a win proposition.
The most genuinely progressive runner in the race. Barrier 6 and 54kg let her sit handy in what maps as a slow tempo.
Morphettville Parks maidens reward exactly this map profile with an 18% on-pace edge.

Sportsbet Get On Extra (Bm64)
His soft record (14:3-2-2) and track-and-distance record (5:1-1-0) tick the two form filters that matter most here, and barrier 2 lets Tootell take a handy spot in a slow-tempo race where being top three at the 400m is worth three to four times the win chance. The 59.5kg is the only real query.
He maps beautifully from gate one and profiles as the lightly raced, distance-suited runner that wins at the Parks.
The most reliable place proposition in the field. Aquaholic has hit the top three in five of his last ten and was beaten just half a length in each of his last two before a close third on Heavy 10. He returns to a kinder Soft 6 and steps into metropolitan grade off a genuine country winter campaign. The concerns are a modest strike rate, an unproven record at 1579m and a jockey out of form, which caps him at a place rather than a win prospect.
Hidden Bounty has the highest career win rate in the field at 25%, wins on rain-affected ground (5:2-0-0 soft, 3:1-0-2 heavy) and gets 4kg relief from the 61kg she humped into third at Mt Gambier last start. Crowther, who has won twice on her, retains.

The Junction Hcp (68)
She is a lightly raced, improving 4YO drawn to be top three at the 400m - the profile that wins here.
The 1400m suits with a second and a third from three attempts at the trip. Barrier 2 with genuine early speed in a race with no confirmed leader gives her the tactical control this track rewards.
Extra Hot is the most reliable placegetter in the field with 6 course-and-distance starts producing a second and four thirds, including a solid third here over 1400m on Soft 6 just three weeks back. Her soft record of 13 starts for 3 wins and 4 placings is the strongest wet profile engaged. The negatives are real - an exposed 6YO carrying 58.5kg from gate 9 who needs luck from back in the field on a track where backmarkers win only 7%. She keeps finding the frame though, and rates a solid place proposition.
Last start over an inadequate 1250m she was only a length and a half away in stronger tempo terms.

Canadian Club Hcp (68)
Polunin is the progressive type this track rewards. The 1400m looks a natural progression rather than a query given he was strong to the line each time, and the winkers should help him settle. From barrier 7 with 56.5kg he maps to be handy at the 400m, which is worth three to four times the win chance at Morphettville Parks.
Barrier 1 and natural early speed hand him the ideal map on a circuit where being in the first three at the 400m is worth three to four times the win chance, and the first-time visors address the one obvious flaw.
72 over this course and distance. He drops back to a trip that suits after two sprint runs and meets an easier field than he has been tackling in Victoria. The negatives are real: gate 11 in a fast-run race, no win on soft ground in five attempts, and a modest strike rate for a horse that places far more often than he wins.
Paganini has been beaten a combined margin of barely half a length across his last three starts, winning over 1400m on Soft 5 in between. The obvious knock is one win from nineteen, but the profile suits today: a genuine soft-track record of 9:1-4-1, ideal trip, and just 54.0kg after Tootell's claim in a race where the top weights carry 60kg. The Tootell-O'Connor partnership strikes at 32 percent.

Adelaide Galvanising Industries (Bm70)
Bristler has contested 18 races over this exact course and distance for 3 wins, 3 placings second and 1 third, and won a BM70 here in March. He has been racing in BM76/78 company and drops back sharply in grade with a featherweight after the claim. Maps handy, which is the winning shape at Morphettville Parks.
The progressive runner of the race with 3 wins from just 8 starts. Barrier 1 gives her a cheap run behind the speed at a track where being top three at the 400m is worth three to four times the win chance. Country-to-metro rise and limited wet form are the queries, but a drying surface helps.
He is in form, wet-track proven with 3 wins from 15 soft starts, and the very fast tempo suits a closer. Against him: he has never contested 1000m, he shoulders 59.5kg while rising in class, and the Morphettville Parks positional data is brutal on backmarkers - top three at the 400m wins about 17% versus about 5% for those back.
All three of her career wins have come on rain-affected tracks, from just five soft starts, and she won last start over today's trip on Soft 6 humping 59.5kg. The class rise from Bench.

The Fotobase Group (Bm74)
The wet record (2 soft wins, 1 heavy win) is genuine rather than incidental, the trip is spot-on, and Ingelse's 3kg claim leaves him well treated at 56.5kg. He maps handy from gate 7, which is the profile that wins at Morphettville Parks, where being top three at the 400m is worth three to four times the win chance.
Barrier 3 maps him handy.
Almairac brings the best raw class and the best distance record in the race — 7:1-2-1 around 2000m including a second in a Caulfield Bench.78 on Soft 7. The queries are real: 36 days between runs sits outside the freshness window this track rewards, and gate 12 asks for a wider passage. Class and trip suitability keep him firmly in the placings equation.
The most literal form line in the race: Rikki Rikkardo won over 1966m at Morphettville Parks on Soft 7 on 1 August, the exact track, trip and going combination she meets today, and her track-and-distance record reads 2:1-0-0.

Sportsbet Leon Macdonald Stakes
Cicala is the classiest, most in-form runner engaged and every one of her 8 starts has been on rain-affected ground - 3 wins from 7 on Soft plus a Listed win on Heavy. The 1400m is untried and that is the genuine risk, but she is lightly raced, well weighted at 57kg, sectionally sharp and ridden by a jockey with a 50% record on her. She rates the most likely winner.
Barrier 5 gives him the handy spot the Parks profile demands. Very strong each-way claims and clearly the horse to beat if he holds his form.
He drops back to Listed level where he has already won, handles the Soft (3 wins from 10) and Holder is a 14% strike rate rider here in strong form. Exposed at 38 starts and light on 1400m evidence, but fitness, class relief and ground suitability all line up.

The most credible combination of proven track-and-distance form and a genuine class drop. Bouncing Beyond has won over this exact 1250m circuit at Morphettville Parks, ran third in a Bench. 80 on Heavy going at Morphettville and was beaten under two lengths in a Bench. 84 here on Heavy 8. Soft 6 is well within his range.
Light weight and a strong stable-jockey link help.
Consistent and thoroughly track-suited, with two placings from three attempts at Morphettville Parks over this exact 1250m trip and a two-from-three record on Soft going.
