Strathalbyn Race 3 - Sportsbet Jockey Watch Mdn Plate
KHORASAN (9) is the one to beat after two solid soft-track runs, first placing here over 1350m behind Expecto Patronum before a luckless fifth at Murray Bridge when slow away and held up near the 400m. The return to 1200m is the query, but she has been competitive in stronger. In the mix. GIFT OF SILENCE (7) has only had two starts and brings upside, with a debut nose second at Murray Bridge followed by a sound fifth in Saturday company at Morphettville. That profile reads well back to this level. Include. KARMA QUEEN (8) has been costly as a long-standing maiden, yet she has placed at this venue and has enough 1200m ratings to stay in the argument. Each-way. DESERT CHARM (1) is improving quickly, was wide throughout when fifth at Gawler, beaten a length and a half, and gets blinkers for the first time from a kinder draw. Can give this a shake.

Improved sharply at Gawler second-up, finishing fifth behind Stockman's Choice and beaten a length and a half after racing wide throughout and laying in late. That was a clear step forward from a well-beaten debut at Morphettville Parks on soft ground. Blinkers go on third-up and he draws to run well.

Was safely held first-up at Gawler, finishing seventh behind Stockman's Choice at long odds after settling rearward and only grinding home fairly. His previous run there on heavy ground had more merit when fifth in a Mdn, but he is still a 29-start maiden with just one placing from 11 tries around 1200m. The claim helps, but his 1200m record keeps him hard to recommend.

Resumed with a plain second-last at Balaklava over 1050m, beaten just over nine lengths after settling back and never threatening, with only a bump at the start as minor context. His previous run at Murray Bdge was also well held behind Brave Hustler in a Mdn. Barrier three helps, but he has plenty to turn around.

Lifted at Jamestown last start when second to Captainwackydoodle, beaten just over a length, but that picnic form now has to stand up in harder company. The run prior at Murray Bdge was plain when second last over 1600m on soft ground at big odds. Place claims only.

Was beaten out of sight on debut at Murray Bdge in a Mdn over 1000m, beginning awkwardly and never getting into the race at big odds. The latest trial being a close third at Morphettville is at least a small sign of progress, and blinkers go on for the first time. Maybe later.

Returns from a five-week freshening after running fourth at Balaklava over 1600m, making late ground but still beaten just under eight lengths. Her Bordertown run prior was plain after tracking the speed, yet she brings an apprentice claim and has placed at this venue. The claim, venue placing and 1200m profile keep her in the mix.

Returns after six weeks on the back of a forgivable Murray Bdge fifth, beaten three lengths after beginning slowly, being held up near the 400m and still picking up well. She had placed at this venue the run prior on soft ground behind Expecto Patronum and has been respected in recent markets. Brings the best recent substance.

Resumed with a fair sixth at Gawler behind Stockman's Choice, beaten two lengths after beginning slowly and working home without a clear excuse. The run prior was in Open grade at Murray Bdge, where he was beaten over 12 lengths after being there to strike. Still has to sharpen to land a placing.

Made some improvement at Mt Gambier last start, finishing fourth behind Nicaloha and beaten just over four lengths in country grade on soft ground. That is harder company now, but she was not disgraced and is fitter third-up. Harder company now, but she can chase a minor cheque.

Ran well first-up at Balaklava, finishing third behind Simply Sid and beaten a length and a half after looming and holding her ground. Her only previous start was in the Listed Dequetteville Stakes, where she was well beaten after racing keenly and being hampered. New trip, so she still has a bit to prove.

Was eighth at Gawler first-up, beaten just under three lengths after settling handy but failing to quicken, with early crowding and keenness adding some context. The concern is the run before that at this track, where she finished last and was beaten over 13 lengths in a Mdn. Six starts without a placing and others appeal more.
