The Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) headlines the second day of the Adelaide Racing Carnival at Morphettville on Saturday afternoon. The time-honoured classic has drawn a capacity field of three-year-olds, all looking to etch themselves into racing folklore.


SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DERBY 2024 ODDS

Online bookmakers are having a hard time framing the 2024 South Australian Derby betting markets, installing Coco Sun as a +450 favourite. The filly holds the call ahead of Warmonger (+500), Bold Soul (+650), Antrim Coast (+750) and Ahuriri (+750). A Samurai Mind (+1500) and Gold Wolf (+1600) are next in the market.


SA DERBY 2024 SPEED MAP

The speed in the SA Derby is drawn out wide, with Air Assault looking to cross and lead from barrier 13, with Glad You Think So in 15 likely to come across and sit outside throughout. Sunsets will look to use his low draw (3) to sit on the leader’s heels, with horses like Zakouma, Antrim Coast and A Samurai Mind looking to hold a midfield spot. Market fancies Coco Sun, Bold Soul, Warmonger and Ahuriri will be making their charges late.

SA DEBRY 2024 PREVIEW & FORM

Bold Soul put in a ripping Derby trial when closing late to claim the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (2000m) on April 27. Having won the Listed Tasmanian Derby (2200m) three runs ago, the step up to the 2500m looks to be no issue. Jake Noonan will likely have Bold Soul swinging wide on the home turn, but this girl has a strong finish for a stayer and looks the one to beat in the 2024 SA Derby.

Despite being rolled as favourite by rival Gold Wolf at Caulfield last time out, Antrim Coast has clearly been aimed towards this race ever since running second behind Orchestral in the Group 1 New Zealand Derby (2400m). He will gain every chance to see out the 2500m having drawn barrier six under Mick Dee, and with a sit on the speed throughout, Antrim Coast will look to open up his rivals early in the home straight and has the ability to fend off his rivals.

Warmonger settled a mile off the speed in the Chairman’s Stakes but was flying late to finish fifth, beaten by a length. The three-year-old gelding does get back in his races, but the 2500m should give him a chance to build his revs up in the home straight. The way he hit the line last time out suggests he should have no issue seeing out the trip; he just needs to be within striking distance when turning for home.

Outovstock is another Kiwi on the rise and looks the best play at odds, while Coco Sun and Ahuriri have to be respected based on recent performances.
