Morphettville Race 7

Sportsbet Durbridge Stakes (L)

Prize Money: $120,000

We are treated to another thrilling edition of the LR Durbridge Stakes. SIR NOW (5) hasn't landed a blow this prep but is absolutely humming along. He was beaten only a neck last start despite being 7 weeks between runs, and the return to the trials since will have topped him off beautifully. He's cherry-ripe now and ready to get his reward. KLABEL (1) was beaten 2L in this race last year by PRAIRIE FLOWER but arrives in top order after winning the key lead-up, edging out Watchme Win in the Christmas Handicap. Draws better this time and should be right in the thick of it. SGHIRRIPA (3) hasn't shown his best this campaign but has his share of ability. He drops back to his pet trip after 56 days and is a five-time winner at the track. Dismissing him would be dangerous. GREAT MAXIMUS (6) is sure to have come on from that first-up outing and gets thrown straight in the deepened. Will be hoping for a strong tempo, so he can burst through late.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by a nose at this track LR Xmas Hcp December 27 over 1200m defeating Watchme Win with 57.5kg at $9. The start before that 3rd of 11 at Ballarat Bm100 on December 6 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind South Of India carrying 58.5kg at $12. Took out the key lead-up and is sure to be in this for a very long way from the inside alley.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 11 at Caulfield in the LR Testa Rossa on November 29 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Here To Shock with 57kg at $31. The start before that 5th of 11 at Caulfield in the LR Caul Village on November 15 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Boston Rocks carrying 58.5kg at $14. Has been well below his best but not dismissing a sharp form reversal.

Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Murray Bridge Bm82 on January 10 over 1100m, neck behind Enuff Seduction with 61.5kg at $2.70. Before that from last on the turn 8th of 10 at this track Gytrash on November 22 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Chicago Storm with 56.5kg at $4. Ready to get his just deserts.

Second run back. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Murray Bridge Bm82 on January 10 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Enuff Seduction carrying 57kg at $5.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 15 at this track 4yo+ Bm68 on May 10 over 1200m, long-neck behind Metrical with 59.5kg at $4.60. Meets a tough line-up, so prefer others.

Most recently 4th of 7 at Murray Bridge Bm82 on January 10 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Enuff Seduction with 59kg at $7. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at this track in the LR Xmas Hcp on December 27 over 1200m, 2 len behind Klabel with 54kg at $21. Looking to others.
