Balaklava Race 5 - Schweppes (Bm56)
CHILLCUZ (4) hasn't won for a while but her recent form in better races has been commendable. Raced well in Victoria before returning to SA and catching the eye last start over this distance at Morphettville Parks. Has raced here once over 1400m and saluted - perfectly placed to double that tally. IMMORTAL SPIRIT (7) is the danger after a return to form at Gawler last Wednesday, beaten a whisker after attempting to lead all the way over 1500m. Draws a far better gate today and will be cherry ripe at the fourth run back. GRUELLING (3) missed the kick and failed to recover when resuming over 1200m at Murray Bridge recently. Races well here and the extra 200m is a tick. May still be one run short but should be competitive. MISS KASEI (6) has been poor in two runs this prep. Might be worth one more chance on a seven-day back-up with blinkers going on for the first time. UNPRAISED (5) can improve on a modest first-up effort in an unsuitable race.

Second run back. First-up after four months 6th of 11 in a Bm56 at Murray Bridge on September 9 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Pretty Perky carrying 59kg at $11. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 1.75 len in a Cg&E 0-54 at Bordertown on December 14 over 1300m defeating Mr Ferrari carrying 60kg at $6. Might need one more but is still among the leading hopes.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 10 in a F&M 0-64 at Morphettville Parks on September 19 over 1400m, 2 len behind Diversity with 57kg at $6.50. The race before that 4th of 9 in a F&M Bm56 at Ballarat Synthetic on August 31 over 1200m, 3 len behind Love Symbol with 59kg at $21. Brings superior form to this race and should get the chocolates.

Previously second-up ran last of 12 in a 2yo+ Mdn-Sw at Gawler on May 28 2025 over 1506m, on a slow track; 21 len behind Somewhere Soon carrying 56kg at $61. The step up in distance helps.

Third-up today. First-up sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 11 in a Cl1 at Murray Bridge on September 9 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Heart Of The Med carrying 55.5kg at $15. Second-up 9th of 12 in a Cl1 at Gawler on September 23 over 1200m, 7 len behind Silvaloa carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Worth one more chance with blinkers going on for the first time.
