MORPHETTVILLE PARKS   21 Sep 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

Grand Syndicates Handicap 1550m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.58).  

Sizzling pace from the outset from Apache Star, Longer Route and France's Boy locking horns ahead of Vee Rod. LONGER ROUTE (8) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start when leading pillar-to-post on the main track. Backs up quickly and is drawn well again. No reason he can't repeat the dose. JILLADORA (3) will appreciate the hot tempo after rattling home from the rear to score impressively here two weeks. Enjoyed a ratings spike and can give this a big shake if she holds her form. ANGELIC APPEAL (14) ripped home to just miss when resuming at Murray Bridge. Nowhere near as effective last start but can get things back on track third-up. Can add plenty of juice to exotics. SOLAR BLAST (6) is also knocking on the door and has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Longer Route.
