Race 7 ADELAIDE GUINEAS 1600m
Not much between a lot of these. ON DISPLAY is the one I landed on after going over the race many times. Always finished off well in races and can make a case she should have won the G2 last start. Held up at vital stage. Like the jockey change and gets her chance. ESTERNAY is lightly raced and looks value at $14. Has a ripping turn of foot and if can land close enough, can trouble them.
HURRUMPH HURRUMPH looks a very good one. Winner on debut and then improved next start and won a better races. Long way off finding the ceiling with it. Settles on speed and hard to beat. Feel SOMEWHERE can improve off the fresh run and GARNACHO is a decent one who is consistent.

2-GARNACHO
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DERBY 2500m
STATUARIO is a beauty. Always good through the line and was a dominant winner last start. Speed of race suited but sprinted better than them. That was a career best and if he didn’t peak there, he can beat them again.
AMERICAN WOLF looks a good one on the way up. Back in trip in a week isn’t perfect but the Leger win was brilliant. Loves a fight and if that run didn’t flatten him, he can be right in the finish again. Love seeing these staying horses pair off and put a gap in the 3rd horse like he did last week.
LAVALIER was strong late in the lead up and can be again. Big step up from maiden win for GLOBAL ECLIPSE, but might be pretty good.
Feel STATUARIO and AMERICAN WOLF the main two.
