Morphettville Race 8 - Sportsbet Matrice Stakes (L)
SHADHAVAR (8) lived right up to market expectation fresh when making light work of her rivals at Murray Bridge. She gets in light jumping to Listed level, making her mighty hard to run down. She's on her way through. ARKANSAW KID (1) was well below his best last start at Te Rapa over 1400m but his prior form was outstanding - only just missing to G1 William Reid winner Jigsaw two back. He drops to a pet trip off 49 days, keeping the legs ticking over with a Flemington jump-out. The big weight is the only concern. SA warrior CHICAGO STORM (2) resumes and is as versatile as they come. You'd expect them to take a sit, stalk the strong speed and look to burst through late. GREAT MAXIMUS (5) and DIRTY GRIN (4) are others who will relish a hot tempo and can charge late if the gaps appear. RUE DE ROYALE (6) has excellent tactical speed and will give himself every chance again rolling forward.

Returns from a 49-day let-up. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Te Rapa in the G1 Bcd Grp Sprint on February 7 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind First Five with 59kg at $3.20. The race before that 2nd of 13 at Ellerslie in the G1 Sistema Railway on January 24 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Jigsaw carrying 58kg at $7.20. Boasts superior and drops back to a pet trip - just needs to carry the weight

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track in the LR Manihi on March 9 over 1100m, 2 len behind Celerity with 57.5kg at $26. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.4 len at this track LR City Marion February 21 over 1200m defeating Thunder Shoc carrying 54kg at $61. Is in career-best form and can't be dismissed completely at big each-way odds.

Second-up. First-up after four months raced on the pace before fading second last of 10 at this track in the LR Manihi on March 9 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Celerity with 54kg at $21.

Second run back. First-up after five months favourite; won by 2.25 len at Murray Bridge Mm 3&4yo March 7 over 1200m defeating Redders carrying 56.5kg at $2.05. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at Caulfield 3yo F Hcp on July 26 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Vain Champagne with 56.5kg at $4. Promising filly on her way through and will prove tough to reel in under light weight.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 10 at this track in the LR Manihi on March 9 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Celerity carrying 54kg at $7. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track in the LR City Marion on February 21 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Power Beau carrying 54kg at $4. Continues to raise the bar but this looks a bridge too far now.
