Morphettville Race 5 - Sportsbet Dequetteville Stakes (L)
ALMOST AN ANGEL (2) comes through the strongest 2YO formline in the country, the Blue Diamond Stakes, and was entitled to tire late after covering ground three-wide without cover, though her Prelude run behind Streisand and co reads superbly for this. Has been freshened with 35 days and back to a far easier assignment. Gets her chance despite having a sharp one to run down. NEVER ORDINARY (1) was ultra-impressive at start two when leading throughout and putting them away with plenty in hand. Draws to advantage and will take catching, though the market has certainly found her. VERZAIN (5) missed by a lip on debut at Murray Bridge in January before heading for a break and has jumped out well in readiness but meets a couple of high-quality fillies here. NOLABELL (9) is a D'Argento filly on debut who has progressed nicely through her lead-up work and is worth keeping in mind, while CELESTARIA (8) is another debutant who has shown enough to warrant monitoring at an each-way quote.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at this track in the LR Cinderella on February 21 over 1050m, nose behind Rebel Tuesday with 56kg at $3.20. Last start favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Morphettville Parks 2yo Bm62 March 14 over 1000m defeating Neveu with 59kg at $1.12. Talented filly on her way through.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 11 at Caulfield in the G2 Bd/Prel F on February 7 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Streisand carrying 56kg at $21. Last start 11th of 16 at Caulfield in the G1 Blue Diamond on February 21 over 1200m, 5 len behind Streisand with 55kg at $101. Racing well. Comes through the best 2YO form and is a great chance to roll the shorty.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 9 at this track in the LR Cinderella on February 21 over 1050m, 4 len behind Rebel Tuesday carrying 56kg at $31. The run before that ran last in a small field at this track 2yo Hcp on January 31 over 1050m, 5.5 len behind Ole Go carrying 55kg at $6. Not going well enough. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.

Third race start. First start 2nd in a small field at Morphettville Parks 2yo Sw+P on November 15 over 1000m, 0.6 len behind Portarlington with 53kg at $2.70. Returned from break 5th of 10 at Murray Bridge Mm 2yo Classic on March 7 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Rich On Bubbles with 55kg at $5.50. Not keen at this stage.

Filly by Tassort on debut. Ran 3rd in a Camperdown jump-out on March 16. Coming along nicely leading into this and deserves a market watch.
