MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

H C Nitschke Stakes 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.57).  

Overstrike is the likely leader from a wide alley. MATERIAL DREAMS (6) doesn't win out of turn but put the writing on the wall last time out when flashing home at Caulfield. Meets Miss Aria 3kgs better this and is well placed to strike the major blow. MISS ARIA (7) was denied a neck of making it back-to-back to wins launch the preparation. Cherry-ripe now and is sure to appreciate the longer journey. Will be finishing the fastest. OVERSTRIKE (1) recorded another strong front-running victory last start to make it 2/2 this campaign. Has enough early dash to offset the outside alley and is sure to take plenty of catching again for his rivals. FLOOZIE (11) strips fitter second-up gets the blinkers on first time. Could well prove the winning touch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Material Dreams to win.
