Strathalbyn Race 2 - Woodside Butcher Mdn Plate
JUST COMET (6) brings the most persuasive recent form, beaten just over half a length at Gawler last start after placing at this track the run prior. She has already placed once at this distance range and has held her form through seven starts without quite breaking through. Gets her chance. DON'T SAY DO (4) went within a nose of winning at Jamestown and gets a 2kg apprentice claim, though she now has to transfer that picnic-level near miss into harder company. Can contest. ASHEN GLOW (1) was safely held fresh at Mt Gambier but has BM68 form in the background and has placed at this distance. In the mix. REGAL TIME (9) is on the quick back-up and did close off at Balaklava. The apprentice claim helps and is worth throwing in for a value bet.

Resumed with a fifth at Mt Gambier over 1200m, beaten just under five lengths on soft ground after tracking the speed and failing to go on. That country run is followed by a harder assignment, but he had previously been contesting a BM68 at Alice Springs and this distance range has produced one placing from two attempts. The 12-start maiden record tempers confidence, but he rates among the chances.

Makes her debut as a six-year-old mare, so race-day evidence is still absent. She has trialled at Morphettville Parks last month and had three trials in total, including earlier short-course work at this venue, but the most recent trial margin was sizeable. Has to show plenty.

Went within a nose of Kryal Castle at Jamestown last start after being sent out favourite, a clear step forward on her fifth at this track the run before. This is harder company than that picnic placing, and she has still not won in 13 starts, but five career placings show she keeps giving herself a chance. Harder task now, but her consistency keeps her right in this.

Had some excuse at Port Lincoln last start when tightened shortly after the jump and still kept on for sixth, beaten four and a half lengths. She was also slow away at this track two back before making some late ground from well back.

Comes through the strongest recent line, finishing fourth at Gawler over 1516m on soft ground, beaten just over half a length after beginning slowly. She had earlier placed at this venue when well found in betting and has already finished ahead of Don't Say Do in that form reference. Consistent, suited on soft ground and clearly the one to beat.

Resumed with a fifth at Halidon, beaten just under six lengths after travelling into the race but proving only fair late, and she was unwanted in the market. Her previous Cranbourne run on soft ground also ended in a well-held sixth, with stewards noting she jumped awkwardly and symptoms of colic were reported. The inside draw helps, but her recent form points more to a minor chance.

Was well beaten first-up at Mildura, finishing eighth over 1000m at big odds after beginning slowly and never getting into the race. Her previous start in a Mdn at Gawler on heavy ground was even tougher, beaten over 18 lengths after again settling at the rear. First try at this trip has not come off a strong platform.

Backs up quickly after a Balaklava fifth where she was unwanted in betting but picked up nicely from well back. Two starts ago at Swan Hill she was ninth in a Mdn after being slow away, hampered and keen through the middle stages. Long maiden record remains the issue, but she can run into a minor placing.

Was second last on debut at Murray Bdge, beaten just under ten lengths at big odds after settling well back and never looking likely. Blinkers go on now and she comes from a leading stable with a strong track record, while her sales profile includes a $6,000 purchase. Stable respect is there, but she has a lot to turn around.

Has placed at both runs since resuming properly, most recently third at Halidon when beaten just over two lengths after travelling well but not quite finishing it off. Her prior third at this venue came on soft ground, and she has placed in both rides with Teagan Voorham. Quick back-up is the query, but she is reliable enough.

Returned with a sound third at Mt Gambier over 1200m, beaten four lengths after being hampered at the start, settling back and still working into the money. That effort also had her ahead of Ashen Glow. Her only previous start was in the Listed Dequetteville Stakes at Morphettville, where she was last and well beaten. First try at this trip, but she has genuine place claims.
