GOING: H(8)

MORLEY GROWERS MARKET HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +14m Entire.  

Not much early pressure but Line Of Thought, Mind Field and Stolen can take up forward spots. GEE TEE (9) flew home from the back of the pack to miss by 0.6L first-up over 1300m. She remains down in the weights with the claim of Webster and the wide draw will likely see this play out as last start did. Fitter and further are both ticks and she can go one better this time. CONCHETTA'S DREAM (7) went back to 1200m last start and closed well, continuing to threaten without landing the knockout blow. Back out to 1400m now is a bonus and Pike hopping back on board is a big tick. Map looks tricky but she's a classy type who can go a couple better this time. MIND FIELD (3) is building nicely and wasn't far behind Gee Tee last start over 1300m. Out in trip again now looks to suit and he can be there when the whips are cracking. ELEGANT RULER (5) is racing well this time in and can't be discounted. THE LUCKY CHIP (13) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gee Tee can get the job done this time.

Second-up. First-up after six months favourite; won by a nose at Northam Mdn June 18 over 1300m defeating Cosmo Ruler carrying 58kg at $3.50. Previously second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Pinjarra Mdn on January 3 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Bulletin Beau carrying 56.5kg at $2.45. Obviously a lot harder and the ratings say he won't be competitive.
