MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   28 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

SkyCity Handicap 2400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-W/Post, True Remainder, Sectional 604m. (Pent: 5.25).  

Solid tempo with Eureka's Victory leading from Call Me Vexatious and Stormsarrived. CALL ME VEXATIOUS (4) went desperately close to making it two on the bounce here at the latest. Gets weight relief with the rise in grade. Can play another major role on short turnaround. EUREKA'S VICTORY (3) was a dominant winner in a similar grade two back. Nowhere near as effective last start but willing to forgive. STORMSARRIVED (5) shocked punters when leading pillar-to-post two weeks ago against similar opposition. Deserves more respect this time. CHOSEN MISS (6) continues to leave herself with too much to do. The form around her reads nicely and gets a key jockey switch in Crowther. Need to include. DIXIE WHISTLER (2) is as tough as old boots. Will be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Call Me Vexatious to win.
