Morphettville Race 3 - Sportsbet David Coles Am Stakes (G3)
STEEL TRAP (4) was no match for a very smart winner when resuming in the G3 Breeders' Stakes last start, but still did a great job to beat home the rest. Is sure to have come on with that run under her belt and is sure to take some stitching. BRAVE DESIGN (1) resumes from a short spell and brings excellent form lines from a two-start maiden prep, highlighted by a runner-up effort in the G2 VRC Sires' Produce Stakes, behind Vinrock. Has class on his side, wide draw the only knock. SALTY PEARL (5) made an eye-catching return at Bendigo. Will appreciate the added trip and gets a key booking in Zahra from a muck kinder draw. In the mix. Smaller each-way cases could be made for debutant pair SHOCAP (10) and SYNTHESISE (11). Both strip fitter for some solid recent trials, but this does look tough.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after a nine weeks break. Finished off last preparation second of 15 at Flemington in the G2 Vrc Sires' March 8 over 1400m, 2 len behind Vinrock carrying 57kg at $7. On debut third of 10 at Flemington in the LR Talindert February 15 over 1100m, 3 len behind Shining Smile carrying 57kg at $7. Shoulders strong Victorian form and can return with a bang.

Claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Murray Bridge 2yo Mdn-Sw April 30 over 1000m defeating Maldivica carrying 57.5kg at $1.80. Looks tested against this line-up.

Second run back. First-up after two months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track in the G3 Breeders Stks on April 26 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Legacy Bound with 55.5kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at this track in the LR Cinderella on February 22 over 1050m, 1.75 len behind Gin Spirit carrying 56kg at $2.80. Huge chance on latest and can go on with it.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First start 7th of 10 at Caulfield in the LR M Cooper on November 30 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Palm Angel with 56kg at $13. Went for a spell before returning 2nd of 9 at Bendigo Vobis Gold Rush on April 12 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Killiana carrying 56kg at $17. Holds appeal with Zahra piloting.

Having third race start. At debut, ran last of 7 at this track in the LR Without Fear on April 12 over 1050m, 9 len behind Petit Artiste with 55.5kg at $16. Second-up set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Murray Bridge 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1000m, neck behind Sir Myka with 54kg at $11. Likely to find this out of reach.
