ABR Weekend Preview

A strong representation for Aaron Bain Racing at Morphettville Parks on Saturday but mixed luck with the barrier draws.

Trainers Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor scratched promising filly BELLEZZE from Strathalbyn on Wednesday because of a horror draw but unfortunately she didn’t fare much better at Morphettville Parks on Saturday.

BELLEZZE accepted in race two, the Sportsbet Nobody Does It Better Maiden (1250m) at 12.47pm SA time.

The filly came up with gate 15 in an acceptance of 17 with three emergencies.

Jason Holder has been booked to ride BELLEZZE which was an excellent fifth at her last run at Murray Bridge. She is racing well but having no luck with her barriers.

Betting agencies have BELLEZZE at $15 behind the $4.80 favourite Broadbeach Miss.

ABR has to wait until race five, the Croser Handicap (1400m) at 2.37pm SA time for EL CAPONY to step out.

The six-year-old mare has drawn well in gate four in a field of 13 with Stacey Metcalfe booked to ride.

EL CAPONY had little luck at her last run at Murray Bridge and has been placed twice from three runs around the Parks circuit.

Bookies would be surprised if she won as EL CAPONY is a $61 chance behind the $3.70 favourite Mrs Secombe.

UNDER AND OVER will have her first start for ABR in race six, the Thomas Farms Handicap (1000m) at 3.12pm.

She has drawn wide in gate 11 in a field of 12 with Jason Holder to ride.

The mare has not raced since December 21 last year when a handy third at Murray Bridge.

UNDER AND OVER has trialled very well twice for ABR and looks well placed to prove competitive.

UNDER AND OVER is a $5.50 chance behind the heavily backed favourite Super Alana at $4.20.

HIGH GARDEN is our next runner in race seven, the SkyCity Handicap (1550m) at 3.52pm SA time.

Apprentice Taylor Johnstone will ride and claim 2kg to bring her in just .5kg over the minimum. The mare has drawn gate one in a field of 14.

After three runs back from a break, HIGH GARDEN can improve from the good draw and the step up in distance.

HIGH GARDEN is quoted at $13 with Flowerdale the favourite at $4.50.

ABR’s final runner is PACIFIC JEWEL in race nine, the Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap (1250m) at 5pm SA time.

The mare was named as first emergency in the field of 18 which included four emergencies but there have already been five scratchings ensuring her a start.

PACIFIC JEWEL has drawn barrier 14 with Jason Holder booked to ride.

The mare won two races for ABR in her initial preparation in SA and has had a jump out and trial to ready her for a return to the track.

Expect her to be charging home on Saturday.

PACIFIC JEWEL has been specked from $27 into $23 in an open betting race with Anotherhouse the $5.50 favourite.

Harness Racing

Four runners for Aaron Bain Racing at Globe Derby Park on Saturday, with owners needing to stay awake for quite some time to see them run.

Trainer Emma Stewart has returned class mare WINGS ON THE LINE to Adelaide, and she will contest race five the SAHRC Members Day Sunday August 31 Pace (2230m) at 8.31pm SA time.

The mare has drawn barrier eight, one on the second row with Wayne Hill to drive.

WINGS ON THE LINE had no luck last week at Melton and looks well placed in SA.

ABR has to wait then until the last three races on the 10-event program.

IVSEENHEAVENSLIGHT lines up in race eight the Kevin & Kay Seymour Pace (1800m) at 10pm SA time.

Trained by Emma Stewart, and to be driven by Wayne Hill, the filly was super impressive when winning at Globe Derby Park last week.

This week she carries saddlecloth 10 starting from gate three on the second row in a good quality field.

BEACH DIAMOND was excellent in the wet last Saturday when resuming and contests race nine the SAHRC Committee Room Available For Bookings Pace (1800m) at 10.29pm SA time.

Also to be driven by Wayne Hill and trained by Emma Stewart, the three-year-old filly has drawn gate 10m, three on the second row.

ABR’s day concludes at 10.49pm SA time in the Northside Trophies Fillies & Mares Pace (1800m).

Former New Zealand mare DREAMALITTLEDREAM has again drawn gate seven, the outside of the front row with Wayne Hill in the sulky for trainer Peter Bain.

She came from last to win on debut for ABR on Monday and it looks like she will have to repeat the effort to win again on Saturday.
