Gawler Race 2 - Matrix Solar Solutions Mdn Plate
DANNY'S DILEMMA (1) is a gelding by Darci Brahma on debut for the Bain & Taylor partnership. Has come along nicely at the trials and keeps Johnstone on. Can make a bright start. VAMORE (6) has been right there in his two runs back but has just lacked the killer instinct. Peaking now and can give this a big shake. GOLDFIELDS GREY (2) mixed his form in his debut prep but did show some positive signs. Strips fitter for two trials and draws the A1 for Opperman. Not taking lightly. JEWELS CAPTAIN failed to finish off as favourite last time at Naracoorte. Has found the maiden win elusive but has efforts that can see him measure up if he brings his A-game. Keeping safe in minors.

Gelding by Darci Brahma facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Balaklava on April 16 over 1000m. Looks set to run well.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when ran last of 12 at Balaklava 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 4 over 1050m, 18 len behind Caladan with 58kg at $61. Might be better off following this run.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 15 over 1050m, 2.5 len behind Cosmic Interlude with 58kg at $13. Second run from a spell raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 at Bordertown 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 1 over 1200m, 2 len behind She Rex with 58kg at $10. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.

Three-year-old gelding (Sir Prancealot - Kate's Dream). He has four recent trials leading in today's debut. Trialled on May 7 at Murray Bridge over 1000m and finished fifth. Aided by a nice alley so keep a close eye on any market push.
