The best form runner in a modest maiden. He has a string of close placings, ran to a winning standard last start, and has a good jockey and an inside draw. The slow tempo and his midfield mapping are the main risks, but he can get handy from barrier 4.

Magain Fielke Real Estate Gawler Mdn Plate
He is the only real leader and should dictate a slow, soft-track race. His last start was his best, a narrow third on soft ground, and he gets an ideal run from barrier 6.
A seasoned maiden who can slot in just behind the leaders. He finished third at Gawler last start, and the jockey's record at the track is solid.
His clock form is the best in the field, but results have not followed. He gets a soft lead in a slow race, and the first-up gear changes could help. Wide barrier and a first-up run from a break are the concerns.

Coopers Brewery Mdn Plate
The best form profile in a modest maiden. He ran well in both race starts, is second-up for an in-form stable and jockey combination, and gets a tongue tie. The map is the concern: he is likely to settle midfield to back on a tight track. A moderate tempo and a short straight will test him, but he still rates the most likely winner.
Glacial Fire gets the map this race rewards. She can slot in on the speed from a handy gate with a feather weight. She was desperately unlucky to lose by a nose last start, and the stable has her second-up.
A genuine soft-ground performer who ran on well for third last start after the blinkers went on. The map is the issue: she settles near the tail from a wide gate on a track that rarely rewards backmarkers, and a moderate tempo makes that harder. She is better suited to a place chance.
He ran on for fourth over the same trip at Gawler and was a close second on soft ground. Blinkers first time could lift him.

Holdfast Insurance Brokers Mdn Plate
Best placed on the map. He should be handy from barrier 1 in a moderate-tempo race with one genuine leader, and he carries the lowest weight. His form against maidens is solid without being flashy. The sixth last start is a slight concern, as is the unknown Soft track, but the draw, weight and rider make him the most likely winner.
His last-start third at Bordertown over the same trip on Soft ground was a good run. He was handy throughout and only beaten under two lengths. He should improve second-up, and a midfield position from barrier 6 suits. Top weight and modest connections hold him back, but he is a solid place chance with a genuine upside.
Two fourths in maiden company against stronger fields suggest he is competitive, and barrier 3 helps. The fifth in a trial last week was not flash, but he is fit. Soft ground and a sprint trip are both unproven, so he rates a place chance ahead of a win.
She is the only horse who clearly wants to lead. In a moderate-paced race, that is a big advantage.

Ray White | Barossa Valley Two Wells Hcp (C1)
Barrier 8 and an uncertain wet-track record are the risks, but she has shown she can race on speed.
She is a fit, improving mare who won well at Gawler over this trip last start. The tempo is only moderate, so she needs to stay close to the speed.
A class dropper with the rail draw and an on-pace map in a moderate tempo. Gawler's inside-draw bias suits, and he has been running on in recent starts.
A lightly raced mare who won last start and is on an upward path. She should land handy even from a wide draw, and the stable is in great form.

Contract Engineering Hcp (60)
She ran a good second at Balaklava over 2200m last start, finishing strongly from midfield. She is well weighted and consistent. The slow tempo is a worry for a back-half runner, but she has settled closer than most backmarkers.
Eaglelou is a tough, consistent veteran who has performed in soft ground and over this trip. He ran fourth last start from well back, which suggests he is still competitive at this level.
Magnetic Edge has the strongest soft-track record here and has won at this track and distance. He ran a solid third last start on soft ground and comes up fit. Age and a likely back-field position in a slow race hold him back slightly, but he is tough and well suited to the conditions.
Turned Loose gets the ideal setup, with a good draw, a light weight and a handy position in a slowly run race. She has been placed on soft ground and was good at Strathalbyn two runs back.

Sportsbet Race Replays (Bm56)
Taupo Tiger won this course and distance 12 days ago in a strong performance. He is fit, handles wet ground and has a consistent profile. Top weight and the wide gate are real negatives, but he can find a midfield spot and the rest of the field is hard to separate.
She ran a very good second at Gawler last start and is in a clear form upswing. The light 55kg weight is a real asset. The concerns are a poor soft-ground record and a backmarker's run style on a track where leaders and on-pace runners are favoured. She is a solid place chance with a genuine win chance.
Dodd looks to be running into form, and the on-pace map is a real positive at a track where the front half of the field dominates. The extra distance is a question and his stable and jockey form is modest.
A nine-year-old who thrives on soft ground, and the best of the wet-track record in this field. He has won at Gawler, including at this distance, and the combination of trainer and jockey is in form.

Matrix Solar Solutions (Bm56)
Trantoro is the most proven runner at Gawler over 1200m, with several wins here, and she gets a favourable inside draw. She drops into a BM56 from higher grades and should be handy, which is the best place to be on a moderate tempo.
Outpost keeps running to a winning standard at this level, including a close second last month on soft ground. He has plenty of soft-track placings and a good draw in the middle of the field. The weakness is a lack of wins at Gawler and his age.
Flying Ace has the best gate speed in the race and is improving, with a barrier-trial win last week. If he gets across from the wide gate, a moderate tempo will suit. The wide draw is a real concern and he has faded in the straight when pressed. He rates a genuine place chance with some win upside.
Lunarshot is overpriced for a mare who finished a close second on soft ground at Bordertown and has won on heavy ground over this trip. She drops in class and carries light weight.
