Gawler Tips September 23
Sanders Fodder Maiden Plate Tips (Race 1)
Gawler Best Bet - Race 1 No. 12 Fartoo Frisky
Fartoo Frisky has already placed at metropolitan level, including a third over 1250m at Morphettville Parks last month.
Jumping from a wide barrier, the filly was ridden cold before staying on to be beaten just over two lengths on rain-affected ground.
She was well held when returning to Morphettville Parks earlier this month, but the form from that race has since held up well, with the winner scoring again and both the third and eighth producing subsequent top-three finishes.
Racing on Good ground for the first time is expected to suit, while her previous 1250m placing suggests the rise to 1500m should also be in her favour.
Barrier seven should be manageable, and with Taylor Johnstone reunited with the Andrew Gluyas-trained filly for the first time since her debut, Fartoo Frisky looks well placed to break through.
Magain Fielke Real Estate Class One Plate Tips (Race 3)
Gawler Roughie - Race 3 No. 5 Youbeeforty
There have been enough solid efforts from Youbeeforty this preparation to suggest he can be competitive at a bigger price.
The son of Vino Rosso finished third over 2200m at Balaklava three starts ago, beaten just under two lengths in a Class 1 Plate on wet ground.
He has finished seventh in two subsequent appearances but performed with more credit than the bare results suggest, including his latest effort at Murray Bridge when dropping back in distance.
Although his only career win came on a wet surface, Nicole Irwin's gelding has also registered multiple top-three finishes on sound ground.
Youbeeforty draws to enjoy an economical run and, back in Class 1 Plate company with Campbell Rawiller booked, he looks capable of producing an improved showing.
Irongate Australia Fillies & Mares Benchmark 58 Handicap Tips (Race 4)
Gawler Next Best Bet - Race 4 No. 6 Limbering
An excellent record at Gawler gives Limbering strong claims, with the mare having finished in the top three in all three previous appearances at the circuit.
The veteran put a couple of below-par efforts behind her when runner-up at Balaklava last week, finishing just over two lengths from the winner over 1400m.
She did best of those who raced close to the speed and finished three lengths clear of third on similar ground to what is expected here.
After taking on male rivals last start, Raharna McDonald's mare returns to her own sex, while barrier six should allow her to secure another favourable position.
Jordyn Weatherley takes the ride for the first time, and with the rise in distance holding no concerns, Limbering looks capable of maintaining her excellent record at this venue.
Holdfast Insurance Brokers Colts, Geldings & Entires Benchmark 58 Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Gawler Value Bet - Race 7 No. 8 Hamner Springs
A strong start to the season has seen Hamner Springs put together consecutive victories at Strathalbyn, including a three-length success over 1600m at the end of last month.
The New Zealand-bred gelding then produced a good fourth from a wide barrier at Murray Bridge before stepping up to stronger metropolitan company at Morphettville Parks last Saturday.
He finished seventh in that Benchmark 0-68 but was tackling a significantly tougher assignment, and the drop back to Benchmark 58 company is an obvious positive.
Any easing from the forecast Good 4 would further suit the Grant Young-trained five-year-old, whose best recent form has come with some give in the ground.
Brooke King has already combined successfully with Hamner Springs and retains the ride, with the gelding looking a value chance to bounce back dropping sharply in grade.
