Balaklava Race 4 - Tqcsi Hcp (C1)
SYNTHESISE (1) brings the strongest overall form and looks well placed second-up. She was beaten a length and a half as favourite at this track first-up, but that followed a fifth in the G3 SA Fillies Classic and she has already won at this venue. May prove too good for these. NO MANS LAND (4) ran a strong BM68 second two back and had to do work from a slow start in BM64 grade last time when eighth. The mile remains a small query, but this is a more suitable assignment and best form puts him right in this. WIN TO RETIRE (9) is going along well with two placings from three starts this time in. On the quick back-up and looks threatening. BELLE FROM HELL (8) returns from a freshening with BM58 form around her and a genuine 1600m record, making her a credible value chance if she runs up to her Murray Bridge second.

Resumed with a solid second at this track over 1300m, beaten a length and a half by Tour De Moon after being sent out favourite and working home evenly. Her previous run was a fifth in the G3 SA Fillies Classic at Morphettville, beaten two and a half lengths, which gives this Class 1 profile real substance. Top weight is the query, but she sets the benchmark.

Broke through in a Mdn at this track last start, pressing forward over 1400m and beating Pretty Morsel by just under a length. That was a sharp response after being beaten over 12 lengths in another Mdn at this venue, so he still has a little to prove for consistency. Consistency is the knock, but a placing is within reach.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a plain eighth in a BM56 at Murray Bdge, beaten over 19 lengths after beginning slowly and making no impression at long odds. The run prior was a much better Mdn win at Port Augusta, where he beat Karma Queen by a length and a half. Maiden win two back keeps him in the mix.

Had excuses in a BM64 at Murray Bdge last start, beginning slowly, covering ground and still keeping on to be beaten just under five lengths by Blackjack. His start prior reads strongly for this, finishing second in a BM68 at Morphettville Parks behind Somewhere Soon. Mile query is minor; this sets up well.

Returns from a six-month break after ending her last preparation with a narrow Mdn win at Gawler over 2100m, beating Blabber Mouth by a head on soft ground. She had been third at Penola beforehand, beaten a length after being slow to begin. Trial profile is mixed, but previous mile placing gives her some place appeal.

Closed over the top to win a Mdn at Gawler last start, beating Empire Ruler by just over half a length at big odds on soft ground. That was a notable turnaround from her Mt Gambier sixth, where she covered ground and only battled late. Race fit and has claims.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fourth in a BM58 at Strathalbyn, beaten four and a half lengths, with a bump noted by stewards. Her previous second in a BM58 at Murray Bdge was more convincing, working home evenly after beginning awkwardly and being near the top of an open market. Last run had interference, and her Murray Bridge second reads well enough for exotics.

Backs up quickly after a sound fourth in Saturday company at Morphettville, beaten three and a half lengths by Winning All Round. Two back she was third in a BM64 at Murray Bdge, unwanted in the market but beaten only a length and a half, and that form includes a recent edge over No Mans Land. Strong mile placing record and a recent edge over No Mans Land put her in the mix.
