The main races are the Group 1 South Australian Derby (race 7), the Group 3 SA Sires Produce (race 2) and the Adelaide Guineas (race 8).
Neodium (Morphettville Race 3 No. 5)
This four-year-old grey gelding trained by Phillip Stokes has four wins and two places from 10 starts. He was a 1.1 length winner over 1400m at Morphettville Parks on 20 March, then hit the lead at the top of the straight but was gunned down late for 0.2 length 2nd over 1500m at Gawler on 5 April. He has won 2 of 3 at this track and distance combination and looks a winning hope.

Each Way
Cloudy (Morphettville Race 2 No. 9):
This two-year-old Frosted filly trained by James Cummings has three wins and a place from her seven starts. She kept chasing solidly to get up late and win the Dequetteville Stakes by 0.2 length over 1050m at Morphettville on 10 April, then took over at the 300m and lifted gamely when challenged for a 0.2 length win in the Group 3 Breeders’ Stakes over 1200m at Morphettville Parks on 24 April. She has drawn the inside barrier and is a great each-way chance.

Designer Chef (Morphettville Race 4 No. 2):
This five-year-old Master Of Design gelding is the early favourite in this BM 82 handicap over 1200m. He went stride for stride in the straight and was outbobbed for a close 2nd in a BM 82 over 1200m at Morphettville on 10 April, then kept working to the line out wide for 1.8 lengths 6th in a BM 84 over 1200m at Caulfield on 24 April. Has drawn the widest barrier here and other runners are better value.

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The highlight of the card is the Casteron Cup. The best bet is knocking on the door and will take plenty of beating over the jumps. Best Bet Prismatic (Casterton Race 5 No. 1) Jumps form is good for this. Has been up there behind some smart ones and looks really well placed against these. Short but should get the job done.
