So we start the new year and look for winners in Adelaide to begin with.

First one to find here is the Lindsay Park runner Lake Jackson.

This colt ran third in the Maribynong Trial on Turnbull Stakes day and was an excellent closing third. He was only 6-1 that day so the support in noteworthy.

This would be a good confidence builder for him should he win as he may head onto bigger juvenile races like the Blue Diamond.

Linda Meech would not ride many for this yard but she is highly talented and makes few mistakes.

Going for the Linda Meech double here with Mahican.

He wouldn’t have won last time at Moonee Valley but should have finished much closer and definitely second.

Shuffled back at a vital time, he powered late. That race would be winning this.

He should be able to get a nice sit in behind them from the inside draw and poke through gaps or if luck has it peel out.
