Balaklava Race 3 - Atkins Photography Mdn Plate
SIMPLY SID (3) looks the goods in a moderate maiden. Settled midfield then wound up strongly to grab second when resuming over this course and distance two weeks ago. Still to win after 14 runs but this is as good a chance as he has ever had. NOLABELL (9) has not appeared since finishing down the track in the Listed Dequetteville at Morphettville in March at her only run to date. The stable must hold an opinion of the filly to throw her in the deep end on debut. Should go well with two recent jump-outs under the belt. LARRY CAN (2) made a midrace move after a poor start then tired late on debut over 1100m at Murray Bridge recently. Can play a major role if he jumps a bit better. BLAZING MISSILE (5) raced handy then battled on okay for a distant third over this course and distance a fortnight ago. Open to further improvement at just his third race start. Recent jump-out winner CHARLES BRIDGE (6) is coming along nicely for the Jolly stable and should give a good account on debut.

Gelding by Dirty Work on debut. Runner-up in a Morphettville jump-out on September 15. No surprise if he featured in the finish.

Raced two times to date. At very long odds at debut, got back early 7th of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Morphettville on August 29 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Barghest carrying 55.5kg at $51. Second-up 3rd of 14 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at this track on September 16 over 1050m, 4.5 len behind Canny Miss with 56kg at $20. That sort of form reads well in a race like this.

Gelding by Prague facing the starter for the first time. Won a jump-out at Morphettville on September 15. Yard has a strong strike-rate with debutants so he deserves plenty of respect.
