Lots of speed predominantly from Talk To Wyn, Ginger Morpheus and Sniper's Son. GINGER MORPHEUS (1) looked a very progressive type last campaign, winning with ease as a $1.24 chance at Bunbury to break his Maiden. He was competitive in Saturday grade following that, and his trials suggest he hasn't taken a backward step. Looks the one to beat on resumption. COUNTESS OF KENNA (5) comes in off a 70-day break, though she has won a trial since her latest effort. She was just edged out in this grade at Ascot back in May and she has the speed to offset a sticky gate. Tends to go well fresh and can put her best foot forward. SNIPER'S SON (3) has been knocking on the door for a while now and comes into this off a 63-day freshen. The 3kg claim comes in handy and he maps to get his chance. Has raced around some handy types of late and is not to be discounted. SCENIC WINGS (8) put up a strong figure when breaking her maiden last start and can go on with the job. PINGERS (9) was solid under Pike last start and has claims on the back of that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Ginger Morpheus.
