Morphettville Race 5 - Sportsbet South Australian Sires' Produce Stakes (G3)
Not sure it's the deepest edition of the Sires' but there are some progressive types lining up. The Oaklands Plate placegetters ETHEREUM GIRL (5) and KAZARU (8) look the horses to beat. ETHEREUM GIRL was only beaten by a neck on that occasion and she's open to further improvement third-up in this. She's drawn well and gets a senior jockey. KAZARU also did enough in the final 400m of the Oaklands Plate and this race is no harder. VOLKANO (1) led all the way and bolted in to win his maiden on the synthetic track last time. This is harder, but he'll give some cheek in front. MOSTLY FOR SHOW (4) and BOOTLEGGER (2) look like two of the better local chances.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 13 at this track in the LR Oaklands on June 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Matahga with 56kg at $9.50.

Third-up today. Resuming came from midfield and won by a long-neck at Mornington 2yo F Hcp June 9 over 1200m in the wet defeating Seven Oceans carrying 58kg at $3.90. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at this track in the LR Oaklands on June 28 over 1400m, slow going neck behind Matahga with 54kg at $7. Quality filly who can go very close in this.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, came from midfield and won by 2 len at Balaklava 2yo Cl1 June 18 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Light The Night with 57kg at $3.20. Second-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 11 at Gawler 2yo Cl1 on July 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Bootlegger carrying 57kg at $3.60. Would have to improve further.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo F Hcp on July 2 over 1300m, slow going 0.5 len behind Savannah Chill with 58kg at $4.40. Before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 20 over 1212m, slow going neck behind Lope De Lardo with 56kg at $26. Needs to lift the bar again.
