MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   07 Sep 2024
 
GOING: S

Spring Racing Carnival at Morphettville - (Oct. 19th - Nov 9th) Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder, Sectional 612m. (Pent: 6.01).  

No place for the faint-hearted with In Love and Truly Elsa getting along early. WATCHME WIN (5) made the perfect start to her career and has followed it up with two strong efforts. Drops back to a winning trip with senior hoop in Holder taking over. Bold showing anticipated. I MISS MARGIE (3) was far from her best when returning at Caulfield. Is another that will appreciate dropping back to the 1000m, where all three of her wins have come. Draws to get all the favours from the inside pillar. Bold showing anticipated. MANSIERE (1) returned with a bang at Sale. Not as effective in his next two but has been tackling tougher opposition. Easier now and he's among the main hopes. GOPHER FRANK (4) didn't give his rivals a sniff last time at Mt Gambier when leading pillar-to-post. Tougher here but can give a good sight at each-way odds. BABAYKA (8) and IN LOVE (6) also hold some appeal for exotic players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watchme Win gets the nod.
