GOING: S(5)

MORLEY GROWERS MARKET HANDICAP 2200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: +13m Entire.  

Expecting Safari Boy and Hot Chatter to pair off in front. ROYAL SPLENDOUR (2) was quickly back on track last start scoring by half a length after working to be prominent at the turn over 2100m at Belmont Park. Has her share of talent and a leading rider stays aboard. Maps well enough and hard to beat again in a suitable race. ETERNAL ROMANCE (10) built on a narrow defeat two starts back at Belmont Park with a win there over 2100m two weeks ago. Should find cover from a handy enough barrier and she's a decent chance to repeat the dose. SAVORSKI (6) impressed from the back missing a whisker this distance at Belmont. He jumped a $2.5L favourite there following but left himself with too much to do. Will be belting home late and worth another chance. QUEEN OF JERUSALEM (1) peaks and is better suited at this level. Has a 2kg claim and she will also be doing her best work at the business end. In the mix as well. PRESSURISED (5) is also an include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Royal Splendour.
