GOING: H

Thomas Farms (Bm62) 1100m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.03).  

Genuine tempo from Alpha Flight leading. ALPHA FLIGHT (1) is a strong danger. He was only run down late first up and will be very hard to catch from barrier one. LOOKS LIKE A LADY (8) best of the rest but does have a few lengths to make up on Alpha Flight from their last start clash. SEATTLE GRACE (5) is a Dissident filly from Heigl on debut. Fitter for a recent trial hit-out. Cannot be underestimated. FIZZY BUBBLY (4) wasn't far away in a recent trial and must be respected on debut for a prominent stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alpha Flight to win.

Second-up. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track 2yo Hcp (C1) on July 30 over 1050m, slow going nose behind Nishikado carrying 59.5kg at $2.80. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len at Morphettville Parks 2yo Mdn March 12 over 1000m defeating Hope At Hand carrying 57.5kg at $1.90. Fitter and a winning hope.

Third race start. Promising on debut began awkwardly; 3rd in a small field at this track 2yo Plate on November 27 over 1050m, 1.75 len behind Out Of Aflica carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Went for a break before returning hampered near 800m and overraced throughout; 2nd of 14 at Morphettville Parks 2yo Mdn on July 23 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Eros with 57.5kg at $9. Leading chance with plenty of upside.

First starter by Puccini out of Little Wen. Should be forward for this after finishing third in a Morphettville trial August 5. Apprentice rides, claiming 2kg. Strong run likely if placing trial run holds form.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 14 at Morphettville Parks 2yo Mdn on July 23 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Eros with 55.5kg at $81. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
