GOING: G(4)

MORLEY GROWERS MARKET HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

The speedy Ice Pick Nick should find the front with No Change and Multinational on his heels. Impressive first-up winner MALKAR PINDARI (5) appears the one to beat again with the added fitness on her side. She ended up a long way back 21 days ago but was just too good, winning by 0.6L. She may be a touch closer this time and suspect we haven't gotten to the bottom of her yet. She can bring up the hat-trick. TRIPLE JAY (7) just missed in a strong race a fortnight ago when a long way back in the run. He gets a much better draw this time and Pike hopping back in the saddle is a huge tick. Can sit much closer than recent efforts and land the knockout blow. ICE PICK NICK (4) failed a fortnight ago when out in trip and may be better suited back to this distance. Was trending the right way prior to his last start disappointment and if he can get back to his prior form, he won't be far away. AMBER GLIDE (3) creates interest resuming without a trial and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Malkar Pindari.
