GOING: S

K.A Morrison Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Rue De Royale and Zourain are both expected to press forward and take it up. Another open race. KALKALLO (7) was well backed and got the job done at Caulfield over this trip last time out, well weighted to do so. Maps for a similar run and can win again. RUE DE ROYALE (3) was second to Kalkallo last time but does meet him 2.5kg better at the weights. Should be right there again. NOSTRINGSATTACHED (2) was poor at Caulfield last time but can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kalkallo goes on top.
