Morphettville Race 2 - Vale Hilton Donaldson Mdn Plate
Weak maiden where EL EXPLOSIVO (1) won't get a better chance to break through. Has placed seven of 16 starts and resumes on the back of two trials. Claim helps and apprentice Brook King has placed four from six rides. Expected to feature again. GO ASK ALICE (9) is a first starter by All Too Hard out of I Spy. Related to a couple of stakes winner and presents fitter for two trials. Watch the market closely. SOUL SLIDES AWAY (10) is a first-starter by Impending out of Something Serious. Well educated with two trials. Can measure up without surprising. ANOTHER BRIDE (8) is back from a spell after finishing midfield on heavy ground at Balaklava. The debut run was midfield in a hot form race. Form is better than it looks and worth keeping safe. MY IVA (7) is a mare by Yes Yes Yes on debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Murray Bridge and looks primed to run well despite an awkward draw.

Resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 11 at Port Lincoln 3yo+ Mdn Hcp March 30 over 1000m, 10 len behind Hawson with 55.5kg at $91. On debut second last of 12 at Port Lincoln 2yo+ Mdn-Sw February 26 over 1000m, 10 len behind Duck Duck Duck carrying 57kg at $31. Might be better off following this outing.

Racing second-up today. Last run struggled in the run home; ran last of 10 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 24 over 1050m, 14 len behind Common Interest with 56kg at $41. At only start last preparation ran last of 13 at Oakbank 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 8 over 1050m, 11 len behind Caribbean Breeze carrying 56kg at $41. Not going well enough.

First starter by Lucky Vega out of Corkedge. Runner-up September 18 at Murray Bridge at his only public trial. Barrier an advantage. Any positive move in betting must be respected.

Mare by Yes Yes Yes on debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Murray Bridge on September 18 over 1000m. Should be primed to run well despite an awkward draw.

Resuming after a ten weeks break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 12 at Balaklava 2yo Mdn-Sw July 30 over 1050m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Miss Tormenta carrying 55.5kg at $11. On debut seventh of 12 at Murray Bridge 2yo+ Mdn-Sw July 2 over 900m, 5.5 len behind Major Rumble carrying 53.5kg at $4.60. Form better than it looks and worth another chance this prep.

First starter by All Too Hard out of I Spy purchased for AUD $ 80,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Tasmanian Yearling Sale). From a good family with a coupe of stakes-winners and fitter for two trials. Shapes as a leading prospect.

Filly by Impending facing the starter for the first time. Finished sixth in a Murray Bridge trial over 800m on September 18. Unplaced in recent trials but has a nice weight and worth watching closely for a betting move.
