MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   21 Sep 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

Claymore Wines Handicap 2250m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58).  

Genuine tempo from Lottaroc leading Bolshoi Princess. LOTTAROC (2) was poised nicely when straightening last start at Sandown-Hillside but faltered late over the 2400m. Was good over this trip two back when finishing second in what has produced two subsequent winners. Can give this a big shake. CALL ME VEXATIOUS (1) made a complete mess of his BM68 rivals here last start. Carries more weight with the slight drop in grade but should still prove very tough to stop. BOLSHOI PRINCESS (9) brings Vic form-lines. Is yet to strike through this campaign but is knocking on the door. Saw a positive change of tactics last start when going forward over the longer trip at Cranbourne. Only has to hold his form to be competitive. WHISPERING PHARAOH (8) dug deep to head out a maiden win two back on the syntho, and then went desperately close to making it two on the bounce. Tougher this time but gets weight off. One of the chances. CHOSEN MISS (4) and BUSH INFLUENCE (6) will be the ones to watch charging hardest late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Lottaroc to bounce back and win.

Sure to go well again.

At the latest run won by a head at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw September 11 over 2200m defeating Mandino carrying 58kg at $8.50. The start before that came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Strathalbyn Cl1-Sw on August 28 over 2050m, slow going 3 len behind Savsonic with 57kg at $17. Perhaps best to keep safe in exotics off that win.
