MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: H

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 1550m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder. Sectional 612m. (Pent: 7).  

Solid tempo with Cawdor leading from Not Usual Glorious and Prince Jofra. PRINCE JOFRA (4) is a course and distance specialist, unbeaten in three attempts. Milnes has built a great association with the gelding and can add to the tally. WORSFOLD (8) battled on soundly into a midfield finish last time out on the main track. Worth following on the short turnaround. PEACEMAKER (10) could only manage third when shooting for his fourth straight success. Shoulders a strong record over this track and trip and is another that holds appeal. NOT USUAL GLORIOUS (2) also comes right into calculation as he tackles one of his easies assignments in recent time. Expect him to give a great sight and not go down without a fight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Jofra gets the nod.
