MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   28 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

The Fotobase Group Handicap 1950m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-W/Post, True Remainder, Sectional 604m. (Pent: 5.25).  

Strong tempo with Ketchikan, Sir Randolph and Savsonic leading the way. EIGHT ON THE DOT (5) doesn't do a great deal of winning but is ticking along nicely. Strikes another nice assignment here and is drawn well. Ready. SAVSONIC (6) was denied narrowly from bringing up the hat-trick last start. Carries more weight this time but is a key chance if she can hold her form. BACK ME UP BENNY (7) has returned in great order this campaign and is knocking on the door. Versatile type, expecting him to charge forward from the wide draw and give a bold sight. AUTUMN COLOURS (9) warmed to her task nicely late when resuming at Hamilton. Improvement to come second-up and gets a key booking in Holder. Watch for her to get back again before letting rip. RAW GRUNT (11) went amiss last start and is capable of a much better run this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Eight On The Dot.
