Listed Scenic Blast S., $125,000, 1200m
Miss Conteki (Eurozone) is the benchmark and worthy favourite having been so determined winning her last two in similar company.
Floyd (Not A Single Doubt) has been very good at his two runs this campaign and he is a member of the Chris and Michael Gangemi stable who cheered home Samzidat (by the same stallion) in this race last year. Stablemate Long Beach (I Am Invincible) has been solid without the best of luck at his last couple and could surprise.
Outrageous (All Too Hard) drops in class having run so well in the G1 Winterbottom S. in late November whilst Hot Zed (Red Hot Choice) was wide in the Listed Miss Andretti S., a race in which Iseered Iseered (Safeguard) was a game runner-up. Clairvoyance (Nostradamus) also contested that race won by Miss Conteki and was favourite only to get her tongue over the bit. She is yet to taste defeat second-up.
The promising Amasenus (Time For War) resumes having been in such great form last winter.
Morphettville: Listed Durbridge S., $107,250, 1100m
Behemoth (All Too Hard) is odds-on to become the first horse since Royal Ida (Star Pyramul) (successful in 2005/06/07) to win consecutive runnings of this race and with his Group 1 form he is clearly the one to beat.
Kemalpasa (Magnus) was a game second to him last year and will be trying to turn the tables, resuming off a consistent spring campaign. Morvada (Mossman) also performed well last preparation and has trialled well (defeating Behemoth) in preparation for his return.
The lightly raced and promising is Champagne Dreams (Reward For Effort) has looked good winning her last two.
