MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   01 Oct 2016
 
GOING: S(6)

Gerry Saint Memorial Mdn Plate 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Mostly Clear   Rail: Out 8m 1000-400. Out 6m to WP. Out 5m Remainder. Sectional 610m. (Pent: 6.89).  

A few can go forward here, namely Tsavorite, Arleigh and Little Sweetheart. Siding with WAGING WAR who returns after a highly encouraging two start maiden campaign. He was hitting the line well in each of his outings and has since been given time to mature. There looks to be good early speed engaged here and the son of Rebel Raider should be charging home strongly off it. MALMOOSA was solid enough on resuming over six furlongs at Gawler. She will strip fitter for the outing and Neilson taking the ride can be considered a positive. A big field of maiden three year olds will keep the pace honest. TSAVORITE led them up this course on debut. It was a heavy track so must remember that depending on the surface today. This race won't be run the same way. MALMOOSA should get a great run all the way. Not much went to plan at Gawler. WAGING WAR came from a long way back when last racing. Is bred to run a trip so liking that he kicks off at the 1300m. TOYSHOP has a massive drop in grade for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Each way odds about Waging War appeal.
