Exalted Beast (Bordertown Race 5 No. 1)
This four-year-old Good Journey gelding trained by Grant Young at Murray Bridge has four wins and a place from 12 starts. He hit the lead at the top of the straight and fought hard but was swamped in the final 50m for a length 4th over 2000m at Naracoorte on 2 May, then came away in the final 400m to win by an impressive 6.5 lengths over 2000m at Murray Bridge on 5 May. Will be very hard to beat.

Canidae (Bordertown Race 6 No. 9):
This five-year-old Foxwedge gelding is the early favourite in this BM 58 handicap over 1550m. He chased gamely and made ground when 1.2, 0.3 lengths 3rd over 1500m at Gawler on 25 April, then battled away without threatening for 2.5 lengths 5th over 1600m at Balaklava on 12 May. Three of his four wins have been at this track but others look a better chance here.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes off a soft last start win and can take the leap from maiden grade. Best Bet Alliri (Kembla Grange Race 4 No. 5) Won nicely last start and despite the drift can take the next step here. Drawn wide but takes weight off with the claim and looks a progressive enough type to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
