GOING: G(4)

Adelaide Galvanising Industries Sir John Morphett Adelaide Guineas 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.44)  

Solid tempo with More Than Hope to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ROHESIA (6) was impressive in the H C Nitschke Stakes, cruising past them in the straight with something in hand. The step up to a mile looks ideal and she can make it three straight. GOLD COAST BELLE (7) has strong backing after back-to-back wins in Melbourne. She also shapes as one who’ll relish the mile. YELLOWJACKET (12) is building nicely and has shown glimpses of real ability. The key booking of Williams and an A1 draw both enhance her chances. No surprise to see her put it all together here. COMMON INTEREST (4) was dominant in a midweek CL1 and backs up quickly. He looks above average and retains Toeroek. BOOTLEGGER (1) is a consistent type who always gives his all. Back to the mile after the PA Guineas, he brings ratings that stack up and shouldn’t be dismissed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rohesia to win.
