Strathalbyn Tips March 12
REQ Refrigeration & Airconditioning Maiden Plate Tips (Race 2)
Strathalbyn Value Bet - Race 2 No. 5 Sir Monica
Kristi Evans’ representative failed to make an impact in his barrier trial efforts and it was a similar story when making his debut at this venue last month.
Jumping at triple-figure odds the son of Sir Prancealot came home eleventh, beaten nearly eight-and-a-half-lengths when contesting a thirteen runner 1200m maiden.
The pick jumped from a wide barrier on that occasion and appeared to have benefited from that experience when delivering an eye-catching third stepped up to 1300m at Penola subsequently.
The three-year-old was ridden cold on that occasion staying on nicely widest of all to be beaten just under four-and-a-half-lengths.
The slight step up in distance is expected to suit here and he has been allocated a good barrier four off the rail.
Jessica Tzaferis, on board last time out is again set to ride and the pair may prove capable of upsetting some better fancied rivals in this contest.

Strathalbyn Best Bet - Race 3 No. 14 Outdoor Cat
A $15,000 purchase at the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale in 2023 the daughter of Starspangledbanner made her racecourse debut at Balaklava in August last year.
The selection demonstrated ability in finishing fifth of ten when racing over 1050m on a soft 6 track that day and she was spelled subsequently.
The youngster impressed with a barrier trial triumph when racing over 1000m on a good 4 surface here in January and she took a step forward when placing second at Oakbank on her return.
The pick was beaten just under four-and-a-half-lengths when stepped up to 1400m on that occasion and the slight drop in distance shouldn’t pose any issue here.
The filly raced on a sound surface, a good 4 for the first time that day and similar underfoot conditions are expected here.
A wide barrier is the biggest concern for Dan Clarken & Oopy MacGillivray’s representative however she is taken to overcome to break through for her first win.
The Terminus Hotel Strathalbyn Class One Plate Tips (Race 4)
Strathalbyn Favourite - Race 4 No. 2 Beach Pad
The son of Bondi showed good placed form in Western Australia in 2024 including when finishing runner-up over 1300m in a Class 1 contest at Belmont in August.
The pick was racing first up that day and while he failed to score in two subsequent starts that prep he delivered solid efforts on each occasion.
The four-year-old joined the Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor stable prior to resuming with an eighth of nine over 1250m when racing on the Parks track at Morphettville at the start of last month.
The selection took a step forward when fifth in a Benchmark 0-68 handicap over 1525m at Morphettville three weeks later.
The gelding kept on nicely in behind the leaders on that occasion and he shaped as if the extra distance he tackles here will suit.
This looks an easier contest and with Jason Holder booked to ride the four-year-old looks capable of recording the second win of his career.
Goolwa Central Meats Benchmark 58 Handicap Tips (Race 8)
Strathalbyn Next Best Bet - Race 8 No. 4 Big Mav
The four-year-old has been in good form in recent months including when registering the second win of his career in taking out a Class 1 handicap over this track and trip in January.
The form of that contest is working out well with the race producing a number of subsequent winners including the second, third, fourth and fifth.
While the pick himself has been unable to score in two subsequent starts he has shown up well on each occasion most recently when runner-up in a similar race to this over track and trip last month.
The gelding was settled in fifth that day finishing strongly finding only a front running winner too strong on a good 4 track.
The selection is expected to race on the speed here and he and jockey Todd Pannell, on board for each of his last three outings have a good barrier two from the rail.
