MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   28 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Eddie Q BBQ Handicap 1250m

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

Snapper and Master Eight possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. KLABEL (4) has barely put a foot wrong this campaign and is racing in great order. Brings the superior formlines and will appreciate Toeroek reuniting. Only has to hold his form to prove very hard to beat. MARBLE ARCH (6) returns for the smart Hayes trio. Is yet to score fresh but likes this trip and the form around her last prep stacks right up here. OCEAN REWARD (5) doesn't do a great deal of winning but has been running well against some quality opposition. Could be in the finish if they can utilise the inside draw. MASTER EIGHT (1) was solid first-up in the Listed W H Wylie, finishing midfield. Improvement to come and has the 3kg claimer on to offset the top weight. Don't take lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Klabel to win.

Price Bloodstock Management Ltd (Mgr: Ms J G Chapman)
Group 3 winner. Having second run back today. Last run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 11 at Morphettville in the LR Wh Wylie on September 14 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Press Down with 56.5kg at $51. At only start last preparation couldn't go on with it; ran last of 14 at Morphettville in the G3 Hawkes Stakes on April 27 over 1100m, 6 len behind Extremely Lucky carrying 55kg at $61. Second up record is strong and should improve on the last effort.
