GOING: G(3)

MORLEY GROWERS MARKET HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Fearless Talk is the likely leader at a strong tempo. EXCESS BAGGAGE (7) is progressive and impressed her initial preparation. Resumed with a 2.5L defeat over in Listed grade and this is miles easier. Has a key jockey switch to Pike and she can power over the top of them. MAKWELL SMART (3) resumed with a 1.2L defeat at Bunbury and is further improved. Won his only second-up start and the 3kg claim brings him into it. ETERNAL WINE (6) resumed at Ascot over 1000m and it was a solid run. Her best would have her in the finish and Chris Parnham rides today and will push forward. STYLIN' (10) resumes and has shown enough both starts to keep onside. Has warmed up with a trial placing at this track and maps well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Excess Baggage.
