GOING: H

Spring Carnival At Morp (Bm68) 1050m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.03).  

They will run this along with Tanja's Dream and Sanbuck taking it up. HOWL (4) is resuming from a short spell and looks well placed here. He races best fresh and has a good overall record. He won in higher grade first up at Oakbank last time in and a repeat of that run goes close here. GREAT DIVINER (3) is another good fresh horse having won two from three first up. He was far too good at his only run last preparation and has had two solid trials to prepare. KONG (5) is racing in great heart, luckless two back before proving too strong down in grade last time. Back to 1050m is the query but he's fit. ZARACE (11) was dominant last start over this track and distance and can go on with it now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Howl on top.

Leading contender coming out of a very nice stall.

Going well. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Gawler (Bm68) on July 9 over 1100m, slow going 3.5 len behind I'm A Legend with 56.5kg at $11.

Capable of a strong showing.

Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
