RACE 1 - 1:00PM LJ Hooker Property Specialists | Gawler & Barossa Maiden Plate (1100 METRES)

Debralee was beaten 8 lengths behind Tanio Rocket on debut on the Parks and went back to the trials and was a 2.7 length winner over Shampas. She draws a nice gate and gets the blinkers on. TENNESSEE MAGGIE draws a good barrier and has trialled OK for her return. She was placed twice last time in work and can be in the mix. HIGH GARDEN is a former Victorian first-up in SA and was placed at Wangaratta last time as a $21 chance. The blinkers come off and she could be an improver. OPPORTUNE CHANCE has had a few chances placed at five of 13 starts and was OK late when beaten 2.8 lengths behind Mon Ami at Balaklava. ALIBIS was placed on the Parks when 2nd behind Overstated before she was beaten 8.6 lengths behind Boltanova at Morphettville last time. She has an inside gate and must be respected.

Stablemate MISTERRIZZ led when beaten 5.4 lengths in 4th behind Justa Star at Balaklava last time and draws a nice gate. HOLPIN stuck on OK when beaten 5.9 lengths behind Dubai Focus at Gawler last time around and should be in the mix.

SELECTIONS: 10 MYTHICAL WISDOM, 3 Holpin, 9 Misterrizz, 5 Maheno
PLAY: MYTHICAL WISDOM should be too good here.

MOFFERNO was easy in the market on debut when beat 1.8 lengths in 2nd behind Love You Belle. She draws out and should be in the mix.

CUBAN LORD was runner up here twice before going to Balaklava and scoring a soft 2.3 length win over Ketchikan. He draws a good gate, gets the claim and looks a major chance again.
