Balaklava Race 2 - Campolina Mdn Plate
MEAN MAZZLE (4) has the strongest exposed profile after placing two starts back at Morphettville and then finishing fifth there in Saturday company when near the top of betting. He is third-up, has placed at this distance and track, and the easier meeting level gives him a good chance to break through. DASHING RED STAR (1) is the main danger if the first-time blinkers sharpen him, as his debut third at Gawler reads well and last start at this track was tougher after he was forced wide and raced wide throughout. BAILAR (12) brings no race experience but has won a Murray Bridge trial, draws barrier 2 and gets Jason Holder, the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track. SOCIAL DANCER (9) has a long maiden record, yet five placings from ten tries around this distance and a 3kg claim keep her in the place mix if she improves second-up.

Had excuses at this track last start when forced wide on jumping and then left wide throughout before finishing seventh, beaten just under nine lengths, after being near the top of an open market. His debut third at Gawler, beaten two and a half lengths after beginning slowly, gives him a better form reference. First-time blinkers and race fitness make him a strong winning threat.

Was safely held in Saturday company at Morphettville last start, finishing 11th and beaten just over nine lengths at long odds after racing keenly through the middle stages. His debut fifth at this venue was more encouraging, as he came from well back to finish off, but he has since been beaten by Mean Mazzle. Must find more.

Comes back from Saturday company after finishing fifth at Morphettville, beaten five and a half lengths, when he jumped awkwardly and did not finish off after settling behind the leaders. The run prior was a sound third there from well back despite interference in the straight. Drawn well and looks the one to beat.

Backing up quickly after a plain first-up seventh at Morphettville, where he was beaten just over nine lengths at long odds and failed to come on after moving into the race. His previous run at Gawler was also poor, beaten over 12 lengths in a Mdn. Not here.

Makes his debut from barrier 1 after trialling at Murray Bdge two weeks ago. He was a $1,500 weanling purchase and the stable has limited supplied debut evidence, though the trainer-sire combination has one win from four starts. Limited race evidence, so market confidence would be important.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with two heavy defeats, including a last placing at Murray Bdge when beaten over 12 lengths on heavy ground. Her start prior at this venue was also plain, although she raced wide throughout on soft ground. Poor last-campaign form keeps the winning case in check.

Returns from an eight-month break after finishing last at Murray Bdge, beaten just under eight lengths at long odds, to end a campaign that had tailed off. She had earlier been beaten over 12 lengths at Strathalbyn when well found in betting. Has some track and distance grounding, but must rebound.

Resumed at Port Lincoln with a ninth, beaten eight and a half lengths, after beginning slowly and racing close enough before failing to finish off. Her previous run at Port Augusta was better, charging home for fifth and beaten two and a half lengths in a Mdn. More a place hope than a strong winning play.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing eighth at this track on heavy ground, beaten eight and a half lengths, when slow away and wide throughout. She had been sixth at Morphettville the run prior at big odds after jumping awkwardly. Still unplaced from six starts, so improvement is required.

Makes her debut from a wide barrier after a close second in a recent Murray Bdge trial and a prior 600m trial win. Todd Pannell taking the ride is a positive for a first starter, and the trial profile gives her some groundwork. Wide draw makes it a watch-and-assess debut.

Debuts with a stronger trial profile than most of the newcomers, having won a Murray Bdge trial after earlier trial efforts at Morphettville Parks and Morphettville. Barrier 2 gives her a favourable starting point, and Jason Holder is the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track. Debut risk is there, but the profile is strong.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing second last at Warracknabeal, beaten six and a half lengths, when she led into the lane but weakened badly. Her previous Mt Gambier run was much worse, well beaten by 20 lengths after racing keenly and stopping late. May need the run.
